| Résumé: | 'Wisdom in Classical and Biblical Tradition' begins with the recognition that modern culture emerged from a synthesis of the legacies of ancient Greek civilization and the theological perspectives of Jewish and Christian scriptures. Part of what made this synthesis possible was the importance of wisdom in both sources.
