"Wisdom of Solomon"

Wisdom of Solomon is a poetic discourse composed in Greek by a Hellenistic Jew in Alexandria, Egypt. The main function of this document appears to encourage fellow-Jews to take pride in the faith. The Wisdom of Solomon claims to address alien kings in order to teach them wisely but its real audience is more likely the Hellenistic Jewish community in Alexandria. Wisdom shows the entry into Judaism of the belief of the immortality of the soul. The author continually reminds his readers of their roots in monotheism, despite their polytheist surroundings. In addition, the community being addressed in the Solomon is the people who were experiencing persecution in some form, and they would receive immortality as a reward if they remained faithful and righteous. Righteousness is the "fulfillment of the demands of a relationship." In the Greek language the word basically means conformity to social custom, while in Hebrew it means conformity to the standard decreed by God.
