How to be Wise opens with an unexpectedly entertaining survey of
the philosophical and religious roots of wisdom, before focusing on
the brooding text of Ecclesiastes. Illumination of a more uplifting
kind is then found in the sublime language of the Prologue of St
John's Gospel, and the life and letters of St Paul.
Forgotten saint? Proto-feminist? Josephine Butller's story is one
of incredible passion and tenacity and deserves to be better known.
She had a deep concern for the marginalized of Victorian society,
she reached out to the poor and destitute, campaigned and worked
tirelessly to bring about the repeal of the Contagious Diseases
Act; spoke out on subjects that shocked her contemporaries and
remained strong and determined against all kinds of injustice .
This is a lively and well-drawn portrait which also delves into her
personality and reveals the deep faith that sustained her in her
work.
