Part 4 — The Wisdom of Job: Faith in the Midst of Suffering (Part 4) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the final episode of the series, Dr. Catherine Petrany travels through the book of Job — the story of an innocent man who loses everything. Through the satan's probing question, Job's clash with his friend Eliphaz, and God's majestic answer from the storm, this episode asks what faith and wisdom look like when suffering defies explanation — and affirms, through it all, that God lives.
Part 3 — Vanity of Vanities: The Wisdom of Ecclesiastes (Part 3) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Vanity of vanities — all things are vanity!" Dr. Catherine Petrany takes on the Old Testament's most pessimistic sage, Qoheleth, whose weary questions unsettle the confident optimism of Proverbs. Yet even in his skepticism, Qoheleth never abandons reverence for God — a reminder that honest doubt and deep humility can belong at the heart of faith.
Part 2 — Two Paths: The Wisdom of Proverbs (Part 2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The book of Proverbs deals with the ordinary, even boring, parts of daily life — and finds in each of them an opportunity for divine grace. Dr. Catherine Petrany walks through the three great forms of teaching in Proverbs: the parental instructions, the hymns to Woman Wisdom, and the short sayings that invite us to choose the path of righteousness. The episode closes with Proverbs 8 and its echoes in the opening of John's Gospel.
Part 1 — A Listening Heart: An Introduction to Biblical Wisdom (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Catherine Petrany of Saint Vincent College returns to launch a four-part series on the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament. In this opening episode, she explores what "wisdom" means in the Bible — from Solomon's prayer for a listening heart to the everyday family instruction of Proverbs — and why these often-overlooked books speak so directly to how we live, suffer, and seek the living God.
