THE WORD AND THE BEING
CALLING THE WISDOM INTO BEING
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
The writer’s obvious question pops at first - why write, read and especially – why read someone's reading of the Scripture ‘second hand’, why not simply live the truth, live the Word, especially if one is trained rigorously in philosophical and certain theological concepts. Philosophers used to answer this question with a simple counter-argument – it seems more important to ask the questions than to answer them immediately, to seek wonder in a seemingly trivial situation or phenomenon. The Scripture verifies the Truth of God’s Word and posits that all judgments done by God are righteous, And, therefore, Psalmist in Psalm 111: 7-8 assures us that: “The works of his hands are verity (truth) and judgement; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.” Our main concern will be the act of naming itself in the Scripture, which is our humble attempt to name the Ancient One, the one of old. We hope through this read we will get some insight, further explanations of the word Logos, understood here and in the ancient Greek philosophy primarily as Word, understanding, order, then perhaps even wisdom and connect it to the very being of the Al-mighty, all-knowing and omnipresent LORD.

About the Book
This is an innovative and unique way of connecting two forms into one: devotionals, prayers and a more structured, academic formal way of writing full of philosophical, theological explanations and etymology. The main topic is the Word of the LORD and in what precise ways that will be connected to the Higher Being, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Word became flesh. This form of both devotionals and academic research, having read the Bible chronologically, underlines a completely new way of celebrating our Catholic faith in calling the Wisdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. We explain how the historical names of God, like YAHWEH, ELOHIM etc. in meaningful ways, above all celebrated and worshipped the LORD our God. In Christ He gave us His most merciful gift – His Son. This book talks about how contemplating the different names of the LORD can be an act of worship itself. In this book devotional forms are reserved for the contemplative and meditative topics like the mercy of our Lord to our soul, the name LOGOS, the Wisdom, while the more academic or chronological research of different names of God touches the topic of what it means to understand the wisdom of the Word and the Being.
