The Wisdom of Solomon and Us: The Quest for Meaning, Morality and a Deeper Relationship with God - Softcover
Synopsis
Can an ancient king supply a salve for our modern spiritual restlessness?
"King Solomon wisely taught that we must live each stage of our lives in a constructive way. As long as we have goals and aspirations, we are alive; we are growing; we are using the gift of time in a meaningful way."
―from Chapter 1, “When There Is Life―Live!”
Rabbi Marc D. Angel, PhD, mines the biblical literature attributed to King Solomon, the Hebrew Bible's model of wisdom, for the answers to life’s important questions.
Ecclesiastes―What is life’s meaning and mission? What is my significance in the vastness of space and the eternity of time?
Proverbs―How can I help maintain a healthy society, with a focus on truth, compassion and moral courage?
The Song of Songs―How can I achieve a genuine, soul-satisfying relationship with God?
More than biblical commentary, Rabbi Angel shows us how Solomon’s wisdom can soothe the contemporary disquiet of all of us seeking a thoughtful, challenging and spiritually vibrant approach to life.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A profound examination of the evolution of King Solomon's wisdom from philosophical to moralistic to spiritual and its meaning for our own searching spirits.The modern age is characterized by radical change, spiritual malaise and societal turmoil. We are barraged by more information and misinformation than earlier generations and although we seem to have access to more data, we also seem to feel less comfortable about the meaning of our lives. We sometimes do not take the time to ponder the really important questions of life: Why are we here? What is the purpose of our lives? How can we attain genuine wisdom? What are the basic foundations of morality? How can we come closer to God?In this fascinating search for answers, Rabbi Marc D. Angel, PhD, draws on the teachings of the Hebrew Bible s model of wisdom, King Solomon. Beginning with passages from Ecclesiastes, Rabbi Angel probes the questions of life s meaning and mission, the significance of each human being in the vastness of space and eternity of time. Using Proverbs, he offers reflections on ethics and righteousness. He concludes with passages from Song of Songs, with meditations on love, spirituality and relationship with God.More than biblical commentary, Rabbi Angel offers a series of intriguing contemporary reflections inspired by the issues raised in the wisdom texts attributed to the ancient King Solomon. Readers who seek a thoughtful, challenging and spiritually vibrant approach to life will find this book to be a valuable guide, a book to be read again and again. Seller Inventory # CIN1580238556G
