Walking the Way of the Wise

In Walking the Way of the Wise, Mitchell L. Chase presents a biblical theology of wisdom. From the garden in Genesis to the restoration in Revelation, this book shows that wisdom is woven throughout Scripture.

Wisdom Literature
Of course, Chase dedicates chapters to the books typically associated with wisdom literature—Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. But I was most surprised to see how the Psalms also speak to wisdom, as well as how the lack of wise judges and kings shaped Israel’s history.

The book also talks about foolishness. Wisdom means not entangling our lives with fools. Folly corrupts lovely things and leads to death.

Wisdom Incarnate
What moved me most was reading about the wisdom of Jesus, even as a young boy. People called Him "Rabbi" though He had no formal training. Jesus is not only a teacher of wisdom—He is the incarnation of wisdom itself.

After reading this book, I find myself more aware of how wisdom appears in our day-to-day lives, especially in our relationship with God. Wisdom is walking in His ways, trusting in His word and revelation.


Listen to Wisdom
My hope is to read and interpret Scripture more and more through the lens of wisdom. And when I preach, teach, and apply it, I want to point others to the way of wisdom—and to listen to Wisdom Himself: Jesus.
