I find interest in the way the Wisdom of Solomon both adopts the Platonist style of consolation based on expectation of justice in afterlife and also cautiously raises the question of the Canaanites’ fate. This is surely a faint and indirect consolation for a lingering sense of guilt. The topic of consolation includes consolation for guilt as well as for suffering. The topic of grace against guilt was to be a major Christian theme - and Christianity is a very significant child of Hellenism and Hellenistic Judaism
