Definitions of Wisdom

I found a good definition of wisdom in James Crenshaw's book, Old Testament Wisdom, third ed. WJKP, 2010.

"It follows that wisdom is the reasoned search for specific ways to assure wellbeing and the implementation of those discoveries in daily existence. Wisdom addresses natural, human, and theological dimensions of reality, and constitutes an attitude toward life, a living tradition, and a literary corpus" (p. 16).

"The reasoned search for specific ways to ensure personal well-being in everyday life, to make sense of extreme adversity and vexing anomalies, and to transmit this hard-earned knowledge so that successive generations will embody it---wisdom---is universal" (p. 4).

"The goal of wisdom was the formation of character and to make sense of life's anomalies" (p. 4).

"Wisdom is a particular attitude toward reality, a worldview" (p. 11).

"The conclusion reached from this multifaceted approach to defining wisdom is that formally, wisdom consists of proverbial sentence or instruction, debate, intellectual reflection; thematically, wisdom comprises self-evident intuitions about mastering life for human betterment, gropings after life's secrets with regard to innocent suffering, grappling with finitude, and quest for truth concealed in the created order and manifested in a feminine persona" (p. 12).
