Wisdom
Posted by Gordon Smith

Job said, "the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom." A group of scholars at the University of Chicago is not satisfied to leave it at that and has launched a research program on the nature and benefits of wisdom.

Cool.

I prefer Psalm 111 and Proverbs 9, which characterize fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom. Job, though: maybe his experience catapulted him to a totality of understanding, and he decided fear of the Lord was wisdom, period. Does "fear" mean "awe" as it's used? I don't doubt that the latter can inspire the former, as it probably did for Job, but there's such negative connotations to the former. Anyway, the project does indeed look cool.
