Learning to Read the Bible, Week 20: The Pursuit of Lady Wisdom - a podcast by Lakeside UMC

Sermon: The Pursuit of Lady Wisdom

Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-8, 13-18

Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich

Description: The books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs are all tied to the figure of Solomon in the Bible. And like in the narratives of 1 Kings, we experience multiple sides to Solomon - the young optimist, the elder cynic, and even the ideal shepherd king that wasn’t. But despite the varied perspectives, they all call us to one thing: the pursuit of Lady Wisdom.

Sermon Series: Learning to Read the Bible

Even if we accept that the Bible is not a textbook or moral instruction manual, we can still desire more clarity. For example, why are so many details in some of the stories either vague or missing completely? It turns out that this isn’t a mistake or just some cultural quirk of ancient literature, but it is an intentional tool of the biblical authors.
