Description:

This book offers a fresh reading of Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes with a distinctive emphasis on wonder as the framework for understanding biblical wisdom. William Brown argues that wonder effectively integrates biblical wisdom's emphasis on character formation and its outlook on creation, breaking an impasse that has plagued recent wisdom studies.An extensive revision and expansion of Brown's Character in Crisis (Eerdmans, 1996), Wisdom's Wonder demonstrates that the Bible's wisdom books are much more than simply advice literature: with wonder as the foundation for understanding, Brown maintains, wisdom is a dynamic process with transformation of the self as the goal."
