The Book of Wisdom or Wisdom of Solomon, sometimes referred to simply as Wisdom or the Book of the Wisdom of Solomon, is one of the books of the Bible. It is considered scripture, classified as deuterocanonical (meaning "second canon", "secondary canon", or "of secondary authority") by the Roman Catholic Church and similarly, anagignoskomena (Gr. ἀναγιγνωσκόμενα, meaning "that which is to be read") by the Orthodox Catholic Church. The Protestant Churches generally consider it to be non-canonical (apocryphal), and thus not Biblical "scripture", though still of spiritual value. It is one of the seven Sapiential or wisdom books included with the Septuagint, along with Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon (Song of Songs), and Sirach.
