The Wisdom of Solomon and Us: The Quest for Meaning, Morality and a Deeper Relationship with God

Rabbi Marc D. Angel, PhD

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.
