as previously stated, fretheim uses a wide variety of texts to support his position, but the vast majority of these come from the psalms and the prophetic literature. as elizabeth bellefontaine notes, israel's wisdom traditions are conspicuously absent. despite his heavy criticism of those who “remove certain materials from the ot theological repertoire” for the purposes of theological convergence (p. 20), fretheim himself offers a nod to the wisdom literature and then completely ignores it. this would be less relevant were it not for the fact that much of the wisdom literature stands in tension if not opposition to his own theology.
