Introduction

Since the garden of Eden, a choice between true and false wisdom has confronted human beings, and the need for discernment is consistent throughout Scripture.

Content Overview

This volume engages with the canny decisions of the Hebrew midwives, the moral chaos of the judges' era, dilemmas in the monarchy, and prophetic responses to the turmoil of the threat of empires, along with themes from Psalms, Job, and Proverbs.

Practical Insights

Wise preaching and teaching are enriched by insights from Tanzania, Myanmar, and Central Asia, and wisdom in daily life is found in biblical practices and is centered on Christ.

Acknowledgments

Colleagues and students honor Lindsay Wilson, whose wisdom interests extend across the canon.

Target Audience

This work is valuable for students and teachers of Old Testament and for anyone seeking to become wise.
