Tracing God’s Wisdom Throughout Scripture

In an age saturated with breaking news and endless search results, we are overwhelmed with information but starved for wisdom. 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. 

Harmon 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. 

  • Explores the Wisdom of God: Traces the theme of wisdom throughout Eden, Israel, Christ, the church, and in the new creation
  • Academic yet Accessible: Perfect for pastors, college and seminary students, missionaries, and lay leaders
  • Short Studies in Biblical Theology: Part of a series designed to give readers accessible volumes on God’s word. Other volumes include The Mission of God and the Witness of the ChurchThe Sabbath as Rest and Hope for the People of God; and more
