The Faith in the Biblical Wise Men and Women

Abstract
The introduction brings in contents and lists the persons of biblical wisdom. The first main part treats the faith which belongs to vital experience and has continuity in the person and the book of Job. He puts all his issues and everywhere in the faith in which he encounters and meets face to face God. In him he finds solution for his passion and searching. The second main part approaches together and separate individual dimensions and persons of wisdom. And so is the faith relative if exposed as work and emptiness in the book of Qohelet. The Ruth also from the late Judean time narratively and sapientially through the marital confession exposes decision of life as act of the faith (Ruth 1). The youngest Oldtestamentarian, Deuterocanonical and Sapiential Book of Wisdom contents the faith in the eternal life and reward as the consoled goal among refugees and martyrs, simply believers in the Pre-Roman period in the Judean Hellenistic dispersion.
