Editorial Introduction

This issue of Present Truth Magazine is devoted to a discussion of the meaning of three important biblical words: righteousness, salvation and wisdom. The articles were not written without considerable homework, and they will not be understood unless the reader is willing to do some too.

Dr. Graeme Goldsworthy did his doctoral thesis on the Wisdom Literature under Dr. John Bright at Union Seminary, Virginia. He is well qualified to write on the biblical meaning of wisdom. His presentation will be richly rewarding to the thoughtful reader. This editor would like to say that he feels much indebted to Dr. Goldsworthy's insights into the Old Testament, especially his seeing the Eden kingdom order (God-man-created order) as the prototype kingdom of God.

Come, let us study diligently together.
