The Wisdom Literature of the Bible (Job, Psalms, Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) is filled with practical
principles for everyday life. While some Christians are deterred by
the secular character of these matter-of-fact guidelines, they are
as integral to God's purposes for His people as the explicitly
theological material that dominates other parts of Scripture. The
Wisdom books tie these two streams of God's revelation together in
a way that enriches and strengthens the church. Examining the
background and perspective that characterizes Wisdom material, this
book provides guidance for interpreting and proclaiming this part
of Scripture. It is a thorough resource for pastors and teachers to
help them navigate the sometimes bewildering waters of the Wisdom
Literature.
In Transformed Thinking: Loving God With All Your Mind, Dr. Edward
M. Curtis argues that every believer needs to take seriously Paul's
exhortation in Romans 12 and avoid assimilating from our world and
culture values that are contrary to God's truth revealed in
Scripture. At the same time Curtis maintains that human perception
and the human mind are wonderful gifts from God that he expects us
to use to the full. There are significant truths to be learned from
the study of our world and through human experience. It is only as
we integrate the knowledge available to us through both general and
special revelation that we can transform our thinking by loving God
with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and truly glorify his
name.
Budgets, friendships, entertainment, and conversations--not
things that immediately come to mind when we think of spiritual
growth. However, according to the Old Testament wisdom books (Job,
Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs), the hundreds of
little decisions we make every day are essential parts of
developing godly character.
With clarity and depth, authors Curtis and Brugaletta explore
essential principles for spiritual growth including developing
self-control, nurturing good relationships, practicing fairness and
justice, speaking appropriately, and responding properly to
difficulty and suffering. This much needed, practical book will
help you live in constant awareness of God's concern for every
aspect of your relationship with Him.
