Katharine J. Dell, "The Lord by Wisdom Founded the Earth" (Baylor UP, 2023)

New Books in Christian Studies

The foundation of the earth, its division from the heavens and the waters, God's provision of all of nature as well as human and animal life, God's relationship to the world, and the ethics and morality of our human response; these key themes, related to both creation and covenant, emerge from the Wisdom literature of the Hebrew Bible. In her recent book, The Lord by Wisdom Founded the Earth (Baylor UP, 2023), Katharine J. Dell illumines the theological themes of creation and covenant by interpreting them through the lens of wisdom.

Tune in as Dell offers a fresh reading from texts in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes!
