Gaining a Heart of Wisdom

Gaining a Heart of Wisdom helps ministers, students, and Christian readers bring together the best features of religious and critical approaches to reading the Bible.

Jones describes a comprehensive model of theological interpretation using Psalm 90 and its prayer for a heart of wisdom as the focus. The book delves into the text through a series of conversations with the church, biblical scholars, Christian theologians, and the contemporary world. The result is an approach to biblical interpretation that is grounded in the church, informed by critical scholarship, guided by Christian faith, and directed toward discipleship and ministry.
