About this title

Synopsis

Patrick Whitworth skilfully demonstrates that wisdom is not something to be reserved for the few or the clever or even the very knowledgeable. Nor is it an obscure or irrelevant quality.
In 'The Way of Wisdom' Patrick is a knowledgeable and instructive guide to unfamiliar territories and terrain in the Bible, although his knowledge and lightly-worn learning extend far beyond the Bible.
We are fist taken on a 'tour d'horizon' of the landscape before us and then guided and led through the Psalms, the Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Song of Songs and Job. As we visit these places of words and wisdom, we are given a picture of the wood not just the individual tree; we see the contour lines not just the stones beneath our feet; the three-star sights are highlighted.
Like those disciples who walked from Jerusalem to Emmaus after the extraordinary events of Holy Week, Patrick guides us through the scriptures to see something of the Holy Wisdom at work in the lives and words of those who have gone before. The 'Way of Wisdom' drawing primarily on the riches of the Bible, but also from poetry, from Shakespeare and from other perspectives, will be a valuable guide for those who, like those wise men of old, still seek eternal treasure.
