Description
“Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?” Wisdom is an absolutely central theme in Scripture, and the book of Proverbs constantly commends it to us as essential to living an upright life. But what does wisdom mean? This holistic concept, grounded in the goodness of tradition and straddling the divide between theoretical knowledge and practical know-how, and between natural and special revelation, too often eludes us today. This course will offer an in-depth study of how this theme functions in the biblical vision of faithfulness and human flourishing.
Taught by Dr. Alastair Roberts, a Davenant Teaching Fellow who has taught our Protestant Wisdom Summer Program the past three years, who also teaches and writes as a Fellow of the Theopolis Institute and for many other platforms. Runs 9/30-12/13/19. For more details on the course, email Alastair at 40bicycles@gmail.com
