King Solomon: Between God and Idols

The End of the Wise: The Question of His Redemption in the Bible and Tradition

Solomon: redemption or ruin?
He’s remembered as the king of extraordinary wisdom and the builder of Jerusalem’s Temple. Yet when the story reaches its most decisive point, the biblical narrative falls strangely silent.

This book follows the tension between Solomon’s early brilliance and his later spiritual fracture. It reads the key biblical passages closely and brings them into conversation with rabbinic traditions, early Christian voices, and Islamic sources—carefully distinguishing Scripture, tradition, and later reception.

Without a dogmatic agenda, it gathers the major historical and theological evidence around one enduring question: Did Solomon die reconciled… or as a king who turned away?
