To Love Wisdom
"Wisdom is a tricky thing. You can’t prescribe it. Wisdom
principles always require application tailored to a person’s
particular situation—no two lives or contexts are exactly the
same. That’s what makes wisdom so hard to reach: it’s about
knowledge, discernment, insight, and then action."
from the Intro to the "Walking with the Wise" series
Join us as we study the Scriptures, seeking to lead a life of wisdom. Our work focuses in particular on the Writings, the third part of the Hebrew Bible: Chronicles, Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ruth, the Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, Esther, Daniel, and Ezra-Nehemiah. It takes some pondering to understand how this collection of poems, narratives, and short proverbs fit together with each other and then in our own lives.

Daniel
A fiery furnace, a lion’s den, a floating hand writing on a wall, and frightening visions: the book of Daniel is epic! Exiled in his youth, Daniel spends his entire life serving Gentile kings well while maintaining his loyalty to the God of Israel. Let’s reexamine this Old Testament favorite, focusing on what wise Daniel teaches us about living in difficult times.

Voices of the Sages: Old Testament Wisdom in Dialogue
Voices of the Sages delves into biblical wisdom by exploring Old Testament wisdom texts within the Hebrew Bible's Writings (Ketuvim). Imagine these texts as sages in dialogue, presenting insights, clarifications, and debates on topics like the fear of the Lord and the consequences of good and evil. In a fresh approach, this book examines how these writings interconnect, creating a dynamic converstion rooted in creation themes from Genesis 1-4: God's creative power, the two paths in the Garden, the folly of sin, and life's fleeting nature outside Eden. This perspective encourages readers to see biblical wisdom as a living dialogue, illuminating the path to understanding God and pursuing wisdom in life's complexities.
