Knowing the Bible for Yourself (Pt. 11)

When one thinks of wisdom, what thoughts come to mind?  What images fill the head?   The response of the Christian to such questions will inevitably differ from those outside the faith.  The most up-to-date entry in the Cambridge online dictionary defines wisdom as: “The ability to use your knowledge and experience to make good decisions and judgments”.  The Biblical definition of wisdom whilst not contradicting this, begins from an entirely different premise from where the world begins.  The world begins from a worldview that excludes the God of Holy Scripture; whereas the Biblical definition of wisdom begins and ends with God (Prov. 9:10).

There are five books in the Bible that have been rightly identified as belonging to the Wisdom Literature.  These include Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.  In this first teaching part of two, we begin exploring this wisdom and endeavour to offer practical helps to enable one to better interpret the Book of Proverbs in order to understand the great wealth of wisdom that is contained in this precious book.
