Synopsis Gnomic Literature in Bible and Apocrypha by : Gerson B. Levi

"The fragments of the Massoretic text of the Bible, that are gnomic in character, though some of them have been incidentally noted by the commentators, have never been collected. The attempt is here made, therefore, to gather as many as could be recognized and accounted gnomic. When the mass is collected and examined, it serves, it is believed, to make a new historical background for the larger canonical and post-canonical books of the gnomic series." --from the Introduction

These books are as true today, as they were in the 1800's, before being omitted from the Bible.These are great books to teach in your Sunday school classes. They're also great collector items to have. Here's just one verse of what's inside these powerful books, quote: Wisdom of Solomon chapter 17:3 For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with strange apparitions. unquote: Do you now see why these books were omitted from the Bible in the 1800's? What is an apparition? It's a ghost or ghost like image of a person.
