FUTURE OF WISDOM

"'Wisdom has built her house, ' and Bruno Barnhart has opened wide its doors and windows. At the center is the incarnation of Wisdom in the 'Christ event.' Barnhart has written a stunning survey of the wisdom tradition, which encompasses ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, and looks to the future with global paths. He contrasts the rise of rationalism with the recession of sapiential theology. In the present Vatican II era, he sees the rebirth of wisdom and the transformation of consciousness. This book could only be written by one who lives its mystery. It will become a classic source on the wisdom tradition." Ewert Cousins--,
