This work focuses on biblical wisdom sayings to explore the function of simple expressions of traditional culture in shaping group identity. The book explores how a nostalgic imagination of an idealized past can help people to make sense of who they are and align them with the culture's values. It thus reflects on the ethics of interpretation.
