Advance Praise: "This is a first-rate contribution to the emerging field of analytic theology. Beginning with the philosophical quest for wisdom, it provides fresh, dense, provocative, and illuminating treatments of crucial theological themes, such as knowledge of God, love, atonement, forgiveness, temptation, and hope. This is essential reading for both philosophers and theologians." - William J. Abraham, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University "Although philosophy is supposed to be a quest for wisdom, recent philosophers have had little to say about the subject. This book is an exception. These distinguished philosophers not only write insightfully about wisdom,; but they exhibit wisdom in their essays, which plumb the depths of Christian faith and show its power to confront a range of issues, both theoretical and practical." - C. Stephen Evans, Baylor University "A masterful array of stimulating philosophical essays, exploring the role of the idea of wisdom in Christian thought. The distinguished contributors themselves supply great wisdom to the theme." - Roger Trigg, Emeritus, University of Warwick, and Senior Research Fellow, Kellogg College, Oxford.
