"Wisdom"

Today we take a look at selected passages from the book of Proverbs, one of the books of wisdom in the Old Testament. It is very different from the books we have looked at thus far. There are no laws, no stories of history, no covenants or commandments. Wisdom literature is about lived experience. Ancient voices, grounded in faith, asking practical questions about daily routine and human interaction; about the social significance of such things as speech, money, friendship, land and work. Join us by choosing a book of wisdom or poetry to continue reading on your own: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, or Song of Solomon.
