Description

What is at the heart of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs?

A desire for life lived fully and well: life lived wisely; life lived purposefully; life lived in loving, joyful partnership with God and others.

At the centre of this abundant life must be for God, for he desires all good things for us.

He wants us to know his shalom - harmony, wholeness, health and peace.

The wise sayings of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, and the rich, sensual poetry of the Song of Songs remind us how to conduct ourselves with wisdom, and without folly and futility, in the knowledge that we are deeply loved.

Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his considerable theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us deep into the unfolding story of the Old Testament. And, as he guides us in our understanding of these time-honoured words and the ancient world they describe, he helps us to apply what we read to our lives.
