Wisdom is skill in the art of living life with each component under the dominion of God… Wisdom includes the ability to use the best means at the best time to accomplish the best ends. It is not merely a matter of information or knowledge, but of skillful and practical application of the truth to the ordinary facets of life.

Kenneth Boa

Kenneth Boa (* 1945) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Theologe, Apologet und Autor, der von Georgia aus durch Lehrdienste und Publikationen wirkt. Er verbindet theologische Apologetik mit geistlicher Formung sowie biblisch orientierter Gebetspraxis, stieß mit der Rezeption historisch-kontemplativer Frömmigkeitsformen jedoch vereinzelt auf Kritik aus fundamentalistischen Kreisen. Bibellesern bietet er strukturierte und lebensnahe Zugänge zur Schriftbetrachtung, Jüngerschaft und christlichen Charakterbildung.
