{"product_id":"wisdoms-wonder-391120","title":"Wisdom's Wonder","description":"*Explores the biblical wisdom books anew through the interpretive lens of wonder*  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e *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.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e 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.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e 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.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51565205094687,"sku":"9780802867933","price":55.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780802867933_865050.jpg?v=1769222138","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/wisdoms-wonder-391120","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
