“All Rivers Run to the Sea”: The Search for Wisdom in the OT Although ‘searchers for wisdom’ may not be the first description that springs to mind for the people of our age, our purchase of self-help books and life-enhancing products, as well as our questions about the meaning of our lives, and our serious interest in spirituality and its practice attest to our search for what Israel’s sages would have called ‘wisdom’—how one lives well.
During this six-week course, we will investigate this search for wisdom in the biblical books by reading Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, and the Wisdom of Solomon.
Weekly readings will also be assigned from: Richard J. Clifford, The Wisdom Literature (Interpreting Biblical Texts; Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1998) ISBN: 978-0-687-00846-9. Participants should obtain this book and read chapter 1 in preparation for the first session. Participants are also asked to bring a Bible with them to each session.
Suggested Offering: $50.00. For information or to register, please contact Pat Curtis at 860-756-4034.
Mr. Paul D. Sansone studied Scripture at The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C., and has been active in adult education and formation for many years.
