Wisdom's Wonder offers a fresh reading of the Hebrew Bible's wisdom literature with a unique emphasis on wonder as the framework for understanding biblical wisdom. William Brown argues that wonder effectively integrates biblical wisdom's emphasis on character formation and its outlook on creation, breaking an impasse that has plagued recent wisdom studies. Drawing on various disciplines, from philosophy to neuroscience, Brown discovers new distinctions and connections in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. Each book is studied in terms of its view of moral character and creation, as well as in terms of the social or intellectual crisis each book identifies. Most general treatments of the wisdom literature spend too much time on issues of genre, poetry, and social context at the neglect of discussing the intellectual and emotional power of the wisdom corpus. Brown argues that the real power of the wisdom corpus lies in its capacity to evoke the reader's sense of wonder. An extensive revision and expansion of Brown's Character in Crisis (Eerdmans, 1996), this book demonstrates that the wisdom books are much more than simply advice literature: with wonder as the foundation for understanding, Brown maintains that wisdom is a process with transformation of the self as the goal.Binding Type: Paperback

Return policy stinks/decent starter set
Size: 12-pc, Color: Cherry
This is a decent set of what I would consider to be starter knives. We purchased a set for our vacation rental home and a second for our son when he was moving into his own place. They are basic knives that you could get away with if you aren’t doing a ton of cooking but you would probably want to fill in with a few other utility knives, as I did even for the rental, if you cook daily. They seemed sharp on the first few uses but they don’t hold the edge so maybe the steel isn’t the best quality. The real reason for three stars is due to the return policy from this seller. We accidentally ordered two sets for our son and the return shipping cost is a good percentage of the purchase price; it’s not like most Amazon sellers who have free returns. We ended up keeping them rather than lose money because we figure we will need to replace them soon.

Good value for money and a reliable set
Size: 12-pc, Color: Cherry
It is a great knife set for a first timer to own. I cook quite a bit and it is helpful to have a set of knives that can get the job done. I like the steak knives as well. They will come in handy when we have guests for dinner.

Fantastic build quality, fantastic price
Color: Cream White
I needed something fast for a chicken and dumplings recipe. Everything in store was outrageously expensive for the size I needed. Got on amazon and found this guy. Nice and large and build quality is excellent. Zero imperfections in the enamel. Heats evenly and is a dream to cook in, nothing sticks easy cleaning. For the price (about 50% less then anything in store) was an absolute deal. Highly recommended.
Just a heads up tho...this thing is heavy. I dont think its heavier then a similar sized enamel cast iron dutch oven tho.

Great value and great quality
Color: Cream White
Excellent heavy-duty quality and it looks great sitting out on my stovetop. I've prepared several meals plus baked bread in the oven in this and it's easy to clean and holding up really well. Very reasonably priced too!
