Description
Christian Wisdom: A Christian Way of Living in the 21st Century In an increasingly diverse world, where different religions and worldviews coexist, David Ford explores the concept of Christian wisdom as a unifying force. He examines how love of wisdom can be combined with wisdom in love, drawing on key elements such as discernment, the love of God for its own sake, scripture interpretation, and shaping desire in faith. Ford's approach is grounded in a deep engagement with scripture, tradition, and the world today, while also acknowledging the complexities of premodern, modern, and postmodern thought. Through case studies that consider inter-faith wisdom, universities as centres of knowledge, and the challenges of learning disabilities, Ford reveals the rich resources of Christianity in addressing contemporary issues. This book offers a thoughtful exploration of Christian wisdom, one that seeks to do justice to different perspectives while grappling with the urgencies of modern life.
