*Explores the biblical wisdom books anew through the interpretive lens of wonder*  
  
*Wisdom's Wonder* offers a fresh reading of the Hebrew Bible's wisdom literature with a unique 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, effectively breaking an impasse that has plagued recent wisdom studies.  
  
Drawing from various disciplines -- from philosophy to neuroscience -- Brown discovers new distinctions and connections among Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. Central to each book, he claims, are certain "texts of *tremendum*," which evoke the wide range of wonder's nuance, from "fear seeking understanding" to confounding perplexity to unbridled joy.  
  
An extensive revision and expansion of Brown's *Character in Crisis* (Eerdmans, 1996), this book demonstrates that the wisdom books are much more than simply advice literature -- with wonder as the foundation for understanding, Brown maintains that wisdom is a process with transformation of the self as the goal.
