In this week's episode, I discuss the concepts of Stupidity and Wisdom as Bible categories. What does this mean? Let's find out together!
Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew.
What am I discussing today?
The answer is something a bit different from what you’re used to in this podcast: The concept of stupidity in the Bible.
Or, if I'm being a bit more precise, Stupidity as a Biblical category.
To talk about Stupidity and Wisdom (both capital letters), I'll be delivering a sermon I preached a few years ago at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church.
The sermon is based on a text from the first six verses of Chapter 9 of the Book of Proverbs.
The story in this text highlights Stupidity as a Biblical concept and explains why its opposite is not intelligence but Wisdom.
So, without further ado, let's dive in!
