This year's conference was held on September 29 through October 1, and featured lectures from Douglas Wilson, Douglas Jones, Roy Atwood, and Peter Leithart. Wilson is the pastor of CEF, and all four are Fellows at New St. Andrews College, a Christian and classical college in Moscow. Not all knowledge is analytic and not everything can be reduced to definitions or put into words. For instance, someone who lived on a horse farm might know a lot about horses without being able to define a horse. It can't be reduced to a number of propositions.
Wisdom is oblique, imprecise, and metaphorically accurate.
It requires age and experience, knowledge plus love. We need to think as creatures. The man of wisdom is content with his finitude, and delights in being dinky. Imagination is sometimes downplayed in Christian circles, but that is to our hurt. A rather simplistic rationalism lies at the heart of so many battlegrounds within the church.
