Pneuma with Daniel Finneran

Wisdom is The Mother of all Good Things: Let us Befriend Her


Listen Later

Wisdom, according to Cicero, is the "Mother of all good things". Yet, wisdom, this benevolent benefactress, is evasive; she's not only difficult to obtain, but hard to define.
Depending on the context, we crown her with the following names: prudence, phronesis, or, best of all, Sophia.
In this episode, we'll explore our benevolent mother, Wisdom, in all her various forms; connect Cicero (a Roman statesman who lived in the last century before the birth of Jesus) to holy scripture; and think about the ancient Greek aphorism, "Know Yourself"--a knowledge on which heavenly wisdom pours her radiant light.
Thank you for listening!
