SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Welcome to Season 6 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.
In Season 6 of the show, we're working our way through the story of the Bible in 12 key passages. Together, these passages will take us from creation to new creation, across the different sections and genres of Scripture, with Christ at the centre.
In this episode, Allister, Cam and Murray discuss Proverbs 9 and the invitation of Lady Wisdom. They explore how to read the aphorisms of Proverbs as wisdom for living in God's good but fallen world, and why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. They also consider the contrast between Lady Wisdom and Woman Folly, and how wisdom and law belong together.
They also trace wisdom through Scripture to Jesus, the true and greater Solomon, in whom the wisdom of God is displayed supremely in the cross. They consider what this means for the church as the household where the simple are called in, fed and taught to live well, and look ahead to the two feasts of Revelation: the wedding supper of the Lamb and the judgment on those who followed folly.
