Since 1929, scholars have been concerned with the interpretation of certain Canaanite literary materials found at Ras Shamra in North Syria, known as Ugarit in ancient times. Attention has been paid, primarily, to certain linguistic and cultural parallels between this corpus of literature and sections of the Old Testament. But despite the numerous treatments of the isolated points of contact between Ugaritic and biblical thought, one major que...

Wisdom, where can she be found?' This question, at the core of Job 28, is arguably the central question also of the entire book of Job.Where is Wisdom found in Job 28? Habel's answer may be surprising: in the domains and forces of nature, in the ecosystems of the cosmos! And who employs the 'scientific approach' of the ancient Wisdom School to discern this Wisdom? A Sage called God during the process of creation. This key chapter, Job 28, is t...

And like scientists, they had a way of discerning wisdom in...

After all, Habel is many more things than a Lutheran - a family man, a social justice advocate, an amateur ecologist and a poet - but still a Lutheran. The scenes from his experiences are not an effort to define being a Lutheran in any official or u...

Description: Deep inside, I am a Wend. I am a son of the soil. I am at home in the forest. I still listen to the trees. Wilhelm Habel is my great grandfather. This is his story and my reading of his life. As I researched his journey, I began to wonder whether there was a hidden link between his spirit and mine or whether the strong connection is simply genetic.
