In Ecclesiastes 1:1, we hear, “vanity of vanities!
All is vanity.” The word for “Vanity” in Hebrew can also be translated as smoke or mist. In this Book, we hear a wise voice ask just why is it that bad things happen to good people, and how are we to learn to dwell in the mysterious reality that we may never fully know the answer to that question on this side of the veil. This powerful volume in the Biblical tradition teaches us maturity and illumination as we walk the path of wisdom.

Course Description:
In our lives, we face real fears, pain, and suffering. These things can feel like metaphorical monsters lurking in the shadows and mist of a murky reality. It can seem wherever we turn, there are people who can only seem to offer Hallmark-esque platitudes and even toxic positivity in response to the actual help our souls desire. The Biblical Wisdom tradition takes the opposite approach to pain and suffering. Through Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job (three of the classic Wisdom books in the Bible), we can find a pattern that has been time-tested to help us find deep growth, even when we're facing the things we fear most in this life. Taking an in-depth academic and spiritual approach to these three Book of the Bible, we can learn to grow in wisdom and hope.
