In our seventh episode on Wisdom in the Old Testament, we start to think about how we should read the proverbs found throughout the book of Proverbs. We explore the way in which a common modern way of thinking about morality gets in the way of letting Proverbs speak to us today, and suggest a more helpful alternative that connects morality, wisdom, and the many mundane choices we make daily.
