Abstract
This paper tries to introduce the way systematic theologian Paul Fiddes works with the biblical wisdom tradition. Fiddes sees surprising parallels between the way the wisdom tradition and today's late-modern period approaches the world and the knowledge of it.
The article will show what he means by late-modern and where he sees the parallels. Then it will move to the epistemological claims, which can be derived from this notion, especially concerning the knowledge of the worldly and the holy and show what kind of theology Fiddes suggests in connection to them.
It concludes with a short evaluation.
