Unconventional Wisdom examines the attempt within the last half of the twentieth century to unearth the hidden theological tradition of feminine Wisdom. The book presents the work of influential theorists, notably Foucault, Belenky and Dorothy Smith.
The recovery of the feminine in the divine is linked with the rediscovery of subjugated value systems and what this might mean for ecclesiology. Its ninth chapter, the section on transcendent wisdom, is known among Buddhist scholars as a challenging exposition of Madhyamika philosophy and difficult to understand without a commentary. This extraordinarily clear discussion of the wisdom chapter is based on an oral teaching given by His Holiness the Dalai Lama before an audience of thousands of Tibetans and Westerners.
This invaluable volume with its precise explanation of core issues of Tibetan Buddhism stands as a key work in Buddhist literature. This book was previously published under the title Transcendent Wisdom. We explore the implications of their respective epistemological features for our understanding of the canonical structure of the Psalter.
After developing a diagnostic method for the identification and analysis of the epistemological features within a biblical text, we apply it to each of the four psalms, and discuss their epistemological qualities with respect to their canonical placement in the Psalter. We find that an epistemic progression develops across the canonical ordering of the four psalms. While the psalmists are increasingly forthright in acknowledging the moral paradox that the righteous often suffer, while the wicked can prosper, they engage this paradox with ever more sophisticated responses.
Although Yhwh is ultimately the source of all wisdom, human beings can facilitate their acquisition of knowledge by seeking him out intentionally, by questioning him directly, and by observing him with a heart focused on learning.

The stock market, he argues, represents the collective conclusion of multiple motivated judgment of a diverse, independent and decentralized sample. Biggs is no historian. He is, however, well-read and a deep thinker. He weaves military history, market action, maps and charts to illustrate his moral. Hardly radical, it is detailed and convincingly argued: A long-term strategy is the best way for ordinary investors to build and maintain wealth.
This is a book every serious investor should read and ponder. It is an original, absorbing and thought-provoking primer on wealth creation. World War II through the eyes of the stock marketThe message this book conveys would have been better served if it was written as a collaboration between Mr. Biggs, a WWII historian, and an economist.
Biggs, although he is a WWII enthusiast, and very successful businessman, is writing from his viewpoint, as do all authors, but with such extensive ground covered in only a few hundred pages I feel the book needs better organization, clarity, direction, and further development of his thesis.
The book is not deserving of 4 stars based upon the lack of glossary, lack of organization, and the mix of mediocre and outstanding writing. At times the book reads like a historical account of World War II, and at other times economics are discussed but often abruptly introduced as if the author realized he needed to momentarily throw in some economic data before continuing.
I found myself in both agreement and understanding of the authors message, and I know there was a lot of ground to cover in the book, and perhaps that is the reason for the choppiness. Twice in the book Mr. Biggs says, "whatever that means" and as a reader, I would expect that if he introduces a term that at least he would know what it meant and explain it to the readers.
I thought that was sloppy writing and he would have been better off just leaving something out if he doesn't know what it means. Also once he uses his own company as his information source. I enjoyed the historical quips, and found Winston Churchill to have a very impressive wit all throughout the book. I also learned more about Hitler as a person that I had previously known. It was fascinating to see the personal side of these and other warring leaders. Although most of the book was predictable as far as wealth retention and distribution during the war and post-war, I was very surprised to learn the lessons of the Japanese real estate market post war.
I was also encouraged by what I read especially regarding the way most stock markets were open and conducting business despite a brutal war. Biggs stress-tests this theory against events that shook nations from the Depression through the Korean War, which he calls 'the last battle of World War II. He has a pleasing conversational style, an eye for memorable anecdotes and a weakness for Winston Churchill's quips. His book works as a brisk refresher course.
It's one thing to say that the London market scraped bottom before the Battle of Britain. It's another to show it. The French and Belgian armies had collapsed; the Dutch had surrendered. Britain stood alone, as bombs shattered London and the Nazis prepared to invade. Yet stocks rallied. So the wealthy should prepare to ride out a disaster, be it a tsunami, a market meltdown or Islamic terrorists with a dirty bomb. The rich are mistaken, as the Holocaust proves.
The moral of his tale, though hardly radical, is impressively detailed and convincingly argued: A strategy for the long term is the best way for traders and ordinary investors to build and maintain wealth Yahoo Finance, Tuesday 15th April Review "Barton Biggs is a brilliant, legendary and world-renowned wise man of finance.
In this original and absorbing book, he combines his vast understanding of the world economy with his deep sense of history to bring us new, important and thought-provoking lessons from the crucible experience of World War II. But today, those dark years offer many relevant lessons—about life, politics, financial markets, wealth, and survival—that can help investors, both large and small, deal with adversity and difficult times.
Biggs reveals how "the wisdom of the markets" prevails, even in the most turbulent of eras: the British stock market bottomed out just before the Battle of Britain; the U. Those events turned out to be the three great turning points of World War II—although at the time, no one and no instrument except the stock markets recognized them.
Through these pages, Biggs skillfully discusses the performance of equities in both victorious and defeated countries, reveals how individuals preserved their wealth despite the ongoing battles, and explores whether or not public equities were able to increase in value and serve as a wealth preserver.
Investors, unlike traders and speculators, must make long-term judgments about the course of events in economies and the world. And its lively and lucid pages are completely relevant, indeed essential, to predicting the way modern financial markets and the economy will act during uncertain times that increasingly define this new century. He details the histories of countries that were victorious, as well as occupied countries and the Axis countries who were the aggressors and then the vanquished.
Throughout the book he intersperses the performance of stocks and bonds as they relate to the events of the times. His thesis is that the stock market is a great anticipator of turning points in the war. Stock prices hit their highs or lows months before conventional wisdom, the press, and even the statesmen and leaders saw a turning point. For example, British market made their lows in June whereas events were still gloomy and exceedingly pessimistic, with even the survival of Britain in doubt.
On the other hand, German stocks peaked before Hitler's attack on Russia was stalled, during a time when many thought taking Russia would be a cakewalk and well before Stalingrad.
These types of correlations can only be obtained by hindsight though, and exceedingly hard for investors to catch the turning point. The rest of the book reads like a fascinating history of World War II, the battles, the personalities, and the intrigues. Biggs also portrays the intense human sufferings, and the great loss and destroyer of wealth and livelihood that war inflicts on all its participants.
