Wisdom Notes

Wisdom Notes

Theological Riffs on Life and Living

by Arthur J. Dewey

Theology is resonant. At its best, it lends rhythm and rhyme to the raw energy of life. It improvises on this world without trying to escape to a heaven somewhere else. In this curated collection of radio commentaries and editorials, Art Dewey invites readers to remain open to new meaning as it arises from our encounters with neighbors, strangers, and friends. Through anecdotes and modern parables touched with humor and curiosity, he blends ancient and modern attempts to make sense of who we are and where we're going.

“Successfully brings together a kaleidoscope of images, social perception, and poetic comment … Dewey’s Wisdom Notes is my ‘must have book’ for 2016.”
—Rex A. E. Hunt, Common Dreams Australia

“Art Dewey is part theologian, part philosopher and part ‘wisdom teacher.’ As one of the voices of the Jesus Seminar and Radio station WVXU in Cincinnati, he combines those roles to speak perceptively to his audience always engaged in a quest for meaning. This book captures those messages and makes them available to the world. We are blessed by this gift.”
—John Shelby Spong, author of Biblical Literalism: A Gentile Heresy
