The Wisdom of Sirach or Ecclesiasticus, as the book is known in the Western or Latin tradition, is a choice composition from the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament.  Written in the 2nd century BC in Hebrew and translated into Greek by the author's grandson in Alexandria, Egypt, this majestic portion of Holy Scripture combines the rich aphorisms of traditional Hebrew sapiential literature with the concerns and background of 2nd-century Hellenic culture. Jesus, the Son of Sirach, was highly prized by the Church Fathers from the earliest days of the Church. In these five lectures, Father Josiah hones in on the themes of learning and seeking wisdom, humility, work, wealth, almsgiving, friendship, social life, wives, women, medicine and physicians, youth and aging, and wise speech and the power of words. In these topical lectures, practical substance is given to the practice of the fear of God in a wide array of human activity so that the servant of God pleases the Lord and lives thoroughly and thoughtfully before Him.  Lecture #1 - Learning and Humility. Lecture #2 - Work and Wealth in Sirach Lecture #3 - Almsgiving, Friendship, and Social Relations Lecture #4 - Wives, Women, and the Stages of Life Lecture #5 - Wise Words ———SOCIAL MEDIA——— Patristic Nectar Instagram: https://bit.ly/3kmupqE Patristic Nectar Facebook: https://bit.ly/33Bzmpx Patristic Nectar Twitter: https://bit.ly/3igrH4f ———SUPPORT PATRISTIC NECTAR——— 1) Spread the Word - tell your family and friends about Patristic Nectar.
