At the 2017 Annual Meeting of the SBL, as the steering committee of the Wisdom and Apocalypticism Section met to plan its programming for the next few years, it became clear that many of the committee members shared an interest in the Wisdom of Solomon. Yet, despite the obvious relevance of that book to the intersection of wisdom and apocalyptic literature, we realized that our section had not devoted a session to the Wisdom of Solomon in the past two decades. To be sure, there had been a number of individual papers focusing on the Wisdom of Solomon, but we resolved then and there that a sustained examination of this book by our section was long overdue. Over the next 3 years, the Wisdom and Apocalypticism Section hosted three sessions focusing on the Wisdom of Solomon, with a view to eventually publishing some of the papers: “The Wisdom of Solomon at the Crossroads of Wisdom, Apocalypticism, and Philosophy” (2018 AM, Denver); “Knowledge and the Cosmos in the Wisdom of Solomon” (2019 AM, San Diego); and simply “The Wisdom of Solomon” (2020 AM, online). The sustained attention to this book paid off; shortly after the 2020 virtual meeting, Matthias Henze invited us to co-edit two special issues of JSP in 2021 on the Wisdom of Solomon. The co-editors are Jason Zurawski, current co-chair (with Emma Wasserman) of the Wisdom and Apocalypticism section, and Karina Martin Hogan, its former chair/co-chair (with Matthew Goff) from 2010–2015. We are extremely grateful to Matthias Henze for this opportunity to publish some of the finest examples of recent critical scholarship on the Wisdom of Solomon (hereafter, Wis), four pieces in the current issue and four in the December 2021 issue.

《伪经研究杂志：所罗门的智慧》2021年9月特刊简介

在 SBL 的 2017 年年会上，智慧与启示科指导委员会开会计划未来几年的计划，很明显许多委员会成员都对所罗门的智慧有兴趣。然而，尽管那本书与智慧和启示文学的交叉点有明显的相关性，我们意识到我们的部分在过去的二十年里没有专门讨论所罗门的智慧。可以肯定的是，有许多单独的论文关注所罗门的智慧，但我们当时就决定，我们部门对这本书的持续审查早就应该了。在接下来的 3 年里，智慧与启示录科举办了三场以所罗门智慧为主题的会议，以期最终发表一些论文：“所罗门的智慧在智慧、启示和哲学的十字路口”（2018 年上午，丹佛）；“所罗门智慧中的知识与宇宙”（2019 年上午，圣地亚哥）；以及简单的“所罗门的智慧”（2020 AM，在线）。对这本书的持续关注得到了回报；2020 年虚拟会议后不久，Matthias Henze 邀请我们共同编辑 JSP 2021 年关于所罗门智慧的两期特刊。共同编辑是智慧和启示录部分的现任联合主席（与 Emma Wasserman）Jason Zurawski 和 2010-2015 年的前主席/联合主席（与 Matthew Goff）Karina Martin Hogan。我们非常感谢 Matthias Henze 有机会发表一些最近关于所罗门智慧（以下简称 Wis）的批判性学术研究的最佳范例，
