Where can we turn for guidance that lasts? In this volume from the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, biblical scholar Matthew S. Harmon traces the theme of wisdom throughout Scripture, revealing its presence in Eden, its role in Israel, its embodiment in Christ, and its significance in the life of the church. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarmon reveals a recurring pattern in the Bible’s redemptive narrative: God reveals his wisdom, humanity rejects it, and God ultimately vindicates it. This pattern not only shapes the biblical story but also helps readers live faithfully in a fallen world by pointing them to Christ, the one who perfectly embodies the wisdom we so desperately need. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExplores the Wisdom of God:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traces the theme of wisdom throughout Eden, Israel, Christ, the church, and in the new creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcademic yet Accessible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for pastors, college and seminary students, missionaries, and lay leaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort Studies in Biblical Theology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Part of a series designed to give readers accessible volumes on God’s word.
