This book is aptly titled "Wisdom," because that is what it is about. It is about the wisdom of God and how it has benefited humanity since the beginning of time. Interestingly, wisdom is always referred to with the pronoun "her."
The book covers a wide array of things. It starts off with a very detailed prophecy of Jesus Christ. It is so detailed that, if true, it should very well mark Solomon as a prophet himself. He'll, of course, give credit to the wisdom of God, but it is still very surprising that this was not included in the other Bible I read. It's fascinating if true.
The book also details the stupidity of worshiping man-made idols. It redundantly and efficiently gives reasons why this is an incredibly stupid thing to do. In brief, a man makes an image by his own hands and then claims to be subservient to the thing he created. It's entirely ludicrous.
"Wisdom" also details some very frightening aspects about Egypt and the plagues. It is a disturbing part to read, but it shows that angels do their jobs with cruel efficiency when set to a task. Damn scary stuff when it comes down to it.
The book is rather preachy, but all the information contained is stuff worth reading. I liked it. I still have a problem with the Catholic Bible constantly adding its own extras to it, but I have been doing my best to ignore them. The book reads perfectly fine without their help. I recommend "Wisdom" for those who are itching for some more Solomon.

Wisdom is a brain being used properly. It processes information efficiently. It channels emotions into useable energy rather than allowing us to be controlled by emotions. GOOD that a book would touch on the subject, and explain the spiritual relevance of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way to put it. A lot of people think Wisdom is the same as intelligence, but it's actually the ability to use intelligence well.
DeleteInteresting that the book was excluded, I wonder why. The worship of man-made idols is ridiculous, if I drew a picture then worshiped I'd be mad, but it would be the same. Indeed cruel efficiency is all Angels know as their actions are completely in the service of the lord with no thoughts about "collateral damage".
ReplyDeletePeople tend to do things that suit them out of laziness. This is no different.
DeletePeople would rather worship something they made instead of a real person. They get to decide what standards they live by. Yet the Truth does not change, only their perception of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd a perception of truth is useless.
