BIBL 3491 Exploring Biblical Wisdom B, 3 credit hours
Real-life decisions should be made according to biblical precedent, but that is easier to say than do. One may derive an approach toward decision making through careful reading of the Old Testament wisdom books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job. But that approach requires “balancing” or “holding in tension” the input from each book rather than developing a seamless process. This course overviews the message of each book and examines specific content while encouraging each student to learn and practice biblical wisdom principles.
