Wisdom's Wonder offers a fresh reading of the Hebrew Bible's wisdom literature with a unique emphasis on wonder as the framework for understanding biblical wisdom. William Brown argues that wonder effectively integrates biblical wisdom's emphasis on character formation and its outlook on creation, breaking an impasse that has plagued recent wisdom studies. Drawing on various disciplines, from philosophy to neuroscience, Brown discovers new distinctions and connections in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. Each book is studied in terms of its view of moral character and creation, as well as in terms of the social or intellectual crisis each book identifies. Most general treatments of the wisdom literature spend too much time on issues of genre, poetry, and social context at the neglect of discussing the intellectual and emotional power of the wisdom corpus. Brown argues that the real power of the wisdom corpus lies in its capacity to evoke the reader's sense of wonder. An extensive revision and expansion of Brown's Character in Crisis (Eerdmans, 1996), this book demonstrates that the wisdom books are much more than simply advice literature: with wonder as the foundation for understanding, Brown maintains that wisdom is a process with transformation of the self as the goal.Binding Type: Paperback

So flattering and comfy!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Deep Khaki
These are so cute and comfy, plus natural fiber. I got the brown and I’m coming back for the khaki. Love!
*I’m 5’8” 136 lbs, got the 31 inch size Medium. They were super big until
washing/drying- still big but I think Small would be too small. They are a very flattering fit, especially with the cute back pockets.

HIGH waist, correct sizing, ok fabric...NOT SEE THRU!! Cool pants though!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Deep Khaki
If it's a few inches ABOVE my belly button, inseam is correct... but then MED is SUPER baggy in the butt (I have a small butt maybe?) WELL MADE! NOT see thru!! Fabric is kind of stiff, BUT because it's a linen blend, may be beneficial for less wrinkles? 😃 Probably improve if washed. Also tried the small, belly/butt area is better, but super high and a little tight on me. NO off gassing 👏👏👏 Super versatile (dress up or down) Good price.

70%linen, 30% cotton pants
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
Linen cotton blend, soft & not see through. I'm 5'4" & 157 lbs, ordered a XL size & they fit perfectly, just a but long. Took me 8-10 minutes to hem, & now they are my go-to summer pants! Elastic + drawstring waist & wide legs look very stylish. I'm very pleased, will probably order more in a different color. I love the natural linen color, but since I see fabric thickness will try in white since summers where I live are triple-digits.
GREAT PANTS for the price!

These are so-so
Good fit (I’m 5’8”, 215 pounds, and got an XL), cool and light fabric. I wore them on a recent trip to Walt Disney World, and they held up pretty well. They do get wrinkled easily, though, and I was somewhat dismayed to find that the fabric pilled badly in the crotch area (see photo). This was after only one laundering and one vacation where I wore them maybe three days. 😒 I have a feeling that they won’t last for more than one summer season. I expected better for the money, honestly.

Read the size guide!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Khaki
Got the light khaki Large. I am 5'7" and 180#'s. Loved the sturdy yet breathable material and the color. But too small. READ THE SIZE GUIDE! I didn't, and now I have to return and reorder.
OK. Got the right size. Love 'em. Comfort and fit are great. Not crazy about having to line dry, but it's the price one pays for having natural fabrics.
