Book Description
Like all great building projects, the world runs on the wisdom of its Architect. The Bible tells us that the universe—its foundation, inner workings, and relationships—is a carefully ordered place designed for humanity’s good and God’s glory. Too often, however, we attempt life based on our own understanding. This brings chaos, confusion, and consternation. Yet the Wisdom foundation that undergirds the world is so strong, not even the selfish folly of man could destroy our Creator’s peace-filled intentions. To become wise, we must respond to Wisdom’s call—to dwell in Wisdom’s house. Proverbs is full of practical wisdom on everyday living. Scripture teaches that Christ Himself is our wisdom—our way back to understanding how to build and live as the Architect intended. Those who meditate on the wisdom of Christ will find themselves living in Wisdom’s house once again. You will be refreshed and able to bring life to those around you—just like Christ who breathed life from its start. Scripture is full of one generous and welcoming invitation after another. In Wisdom’s Call, K. A. Ellis shows us how to claim the asset of wisdom and invites us to experience Jesus Christ—the Wisdom on which our world rests. Ellis calls us to live in God’s magnificent world as people who are wise.

Biblical Wisdom and the Victorian Literary Imagination
Author: Denae Dyck
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 135033538X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Examining the creative thought that arose in response to 19th-century religious controversies, this book demonstrates that the pressures exerted by historical methods of biblical scholarship prompted an imaginative recovery of wisdom literature. During the Victorian period, new approaches to the interpretation of sacred texts called into question traditional ideas about biblical inspiration, motivating literary transformations of inherited symbols, metaphors, and forms. Drawing on the theoretical work of Paul Ricoeur, Denae Dyck considers how Victorian writers from a variety of belief positions used wisdom literature to reframe their experiences of questioning, doubt, and uncertainty: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George MacDonald, George Eliot, John Ruskin, and Olive Schreiner. This study contributes to the reassessment of historical and contemporary narratives of secularization by calling attention to wisdom literature as a vital, distinctive genre that animated the search for meaning within an increasingly ideologically diverse world.

Love & Wisdom
Author: Jennifer Abrahams
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1496993837
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Everybody wants to be happy, everybody wants to be loved, and everybody wants to be treated right within their relationship with a potential spouse. Everybody wants to get with someone who will treat them with respect and honor. Everybody wants to get with a person of great quality. But nobody really seems to be focusing on becoming an individual of great quality within their own mind-set. Love is so much more than a feeling or sensation. Love is a way of thinking, a way of behavior, and a way of character. Too often we want certain things from people without attempting to become what it is that we want from them ourselves. Its one thing to find somebody who will love you right, and its another thing for you to be someone who will love them right too. You might be looking to enter into a relationship, but it might just be that youre not conditioned to be in one right now. Love & Wisdom is more than just a book. Its a reality check and a reality guide which will support you in reestablishing your reality so that you can eventually establish a loving relationship with another loving person.

Wisdom in Transition
Author: Samuel L. Adams
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004165665
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
This volume considers a major shift among Jewish sages during the Second Temple period, as certain authors moved from an earthly focus to a belief in individual immortality. Egyptian instructions and the book of Proverbs are examined for necessary background. The colorful responses of Qoheleth and Ben Sira to an emergent belief in the afterlife are also discussed. 4QInstruction, the largest Wisdom text from the Dead Sea Scrolls corpus, demonstrates this shift to an eschatological understanding. This book considers the diverse reasons for the changes that one finds in 4QInstruction, especially the issue of social context. It will prove useful to those interested in Wisdom literature, the Dead Sea Scrolls, apocalypticism, and the development of beliefs in the afterlife.
