Benjamin W. Farley 
Transcendence and Fulfillment [EPUB ebook] 
A Critique of Paul’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom and Their Enduring Relevance

Farley’s Transcendence and Fulfillment captures one’s immediate attention, especially with his designation of Paul’s ’Seven Pillars of Wisdom.’ Readers will find his selection intriguing and illuminating. While being faithful to Paul’s self-understanding and theological views, Farley offers a constructive and critical examination of the pillars’ relevance for Paul’s time as well as our own. The author blends biblical insight with a range of classical and contemporary philosophical opinion. In doing so, he draws on Plato and Cicero’s wisdom, in addition to the critical works of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Marcel, and Berdyaev. Students and professors of Paul’s life and theology, along with clergy and lay admirers of Paul’s views, will find Farley’s book a useful resource for a provocative yet spiritually rich journey, true to Paul’s teachings and of enduring relevance.
