Reviews

The author urges readers to take a look at the gospel through the eyes of the neglected wisdom traditions of the Bible -- traditions that affirm life, culture, and human capability rather than fearing or despising them. His conclusion affirms wisdom as a necessary corrective to an overzealous commitment to old methods of doing theology. from book cover
