Voices of the Sages

Jonathan and James sit down with award-winning teacher and Old Testament scholar Brian Toews to discuss his insightful book, Voices of the Sages: Old Testament Wisdom in Dialogue. Voices of the Sages delves into biblical wisdom by exploring Old Testament wisdom texts within the Hebrew Bible's Writings (Ketuvim). Imagine these texts as sages in dialogue, presenting insights, clarifications, and debates on topics like the fear of the Lord and the consequences of good and evil.

These are books in conversation with other books. – Brian Toews

They explore the unique method of contextuality and montage that Toews employs to illustrate the conversations between the books of the Old Testament. This perspective encourages readers to see biblical wisdom as a living dialogue, illuminating the path to understanding God and pursuing wisdom in life's complexities.
