DIVE - IT'S TIME TO BE LOST IN WISDOM, THROUGH OUR HEART AND NOT OUR HEAD | Dr Katie Haldane
Before we start, let me emphasise something: this book is not to be read in a tweed coat with a pipe in your mouth (as much as I love the Sherlock Holmes look). This is not a letter or a historical narrative, this book is to be read in a colourful painting smock, surrounded by nature and expression!
DEEP DIVE - THE WISE AND WISDOM | Dr Katie Haldane
The idea of ‘mulling over’ something for wisdom is not really seen in our generation today. All we need to do is ask Google. But in the ancient Near East, taking time to gain wisdom and knowledge was honoured and, in fact, those who did this as their profession were honoured as highly as the priests and prophets. This tradition of the ‘wise’ continued throughout the Old Testament into the New.
