Beskrivelse af Ancient Wisdom for the Good Life
In Ancient Wisdom for the Good Life, Ralph K. Hawkins turns our attention to the Bible's Wisdom Literature (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) and how it can correct us, train us in righteousness, and ultimately empower us for successful living. These are some of the most inspired writings on the Good Life the world has ever known, in which ancient Israel's sages wrote about how to live stable, harmonious, productive, and joyous lives. Together, they interlock to cover the entire field of wisdom, providing contemporary readers with the tools to develop a unified world view with God at the center. Ancient Wisdom for the Good Life culls out the guidance of ancient Israel's sages for a modern society that has been cut adrift from its moorings.Full of wisdom and practically written, this book could be used as a supplementary text in an undergraduate or seminary course in the Wisdom Literature, and it would certainly be useful for pastors in their sermon preparation or even just general reading.Table of Contents: Winning and the Wisdom LiteratureA Mindset of IntegrityA Mindset of CommunityA Mindset of CommunicationA Mindset of Cause-and-EffectA Mindset of Goal-SettingA Mindset of WorkA Mindset of HealthA Mindset of AbundanceA Mindset of JoyAbout the AuthorRalph K.
