1 Maccabees is an account of the Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Empire.  Although it recounts the events that led to Hanukkah, this book didn't make it into traditional Jewish canon.  We are told that Christ attended a Hanukkah celebration (referred to in the Bible as "The Feast of Dedication"), but does that mean that this story should be included in Christian Canon?  Join our wandering woman in Sinai as she reads through this book and contends with God's role in all of it.

Wisdom of Solomon is a book which both discusses wisdom and Solomon's views about wisdom as a virtue. From all accounts,  it wasn't written by Solomon, even the Early Church didn't believe it was written by Solomon himself, but rather put together by his friends. So after reading it all...here's my verdict.

Wisdom of Solomon is a book which both discusses wisdom and Solomon's views about wisdom as a virtue. Whether it was actually written by Solomon is contested, and even during the Early Church it doesn't seem to have been believed to be by Solomon himself, but rather put together by his friends. I don't know what I'm doing in this desert, but may as well add it to my list of pieces to explore...so should it be put in the canon? Or axed?
