Wisdom Bible written by Sanderson Beck
Just a reminder for those who browse this blog to also check out my Wisdom Books page (you can also access it from the menu above) from time to time, as I periodically update it with book recommendations and free eBooks on the subjects of philosophy and wisdom written by the great thinkers in ancient history and the modern age.
I have also recently updated the page with the enlightening and knowledgeable works of peace activist Sanderson Beck, who has already featured on this blog in the post Unknown Bearers Of True Knowledge And Wisdom: Sanderson Beck.
So please have look at Sanderson’s many online books because I’m sure you will learn much beneficial wisdom that you can apply to your life for the better.
Could this be Jesus resurrected in the 21st century? No. It's in fact Sanderson Beck - A man with much beneficial knowledge to share
I came across an amazing site long ago whilst searching for websites on the subjects of “truth, knowledge and wisdom”.
Here is a short biography on the man who is responsible for the aforementioned site:
Sanderson Beck was born March 5, 1947 in Los Angeles. He earned a B.A. in Dramatic Art from the University of California at Berkeley, an M.A. in Religious Studies from U.C. Santa Barbara, Ph.D. candidacy in the Philosophy of Education from U.C.L.A., and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the World University. He was a Conscientious Objector during the Vietnam War. In 1982 he formulated World Peace Movement Principles, Purposes, and Methods, and in 1987 he traveled to 47 states and met with 600 peace groups to promote peace and disarmament. He has been arrested many times for nonviolently protesting nuclear weapons and military intervention and in 1989 was imprisoned for six months. Sanderson has taught Philosophy and many other subjects at the World University since 1976.
On September 1, 2001 World Peace Communications was incorporated as a nonprofit organization for educational, literary, and charitable purposes. Sanderson’s versions of the Wisdom Classics have been published as the WISDOM BIBLE in 2002. Sanderson published the Nonviolent Action Handbook and GUIDES TO PEACE AND JUSTICE in 2003. He became an official candidate for President of the United States in December 2002, and in May 2003 he endorsed Dennis Kucinich. The first six volumes of the ETHICS OF CIVILIZATION were published by 2005, and three more volumes were published by 2008. GUIDES TO PEACE AND JUSTICE was expanded and came out as the two-volume HISTORY OF PEACE in July 2005, followed by The Art of Gentle Living in September, BEST FOR ALL: How We Can Save the World in November, and Confucius and Socrates in 2006. In July 2008 Beck published The Good Message of Jesus the Christ, Peace or Bust, 4 Screenplays, Socrates Plays, and George Washington.

Row (Busts) of Ancient Greek Philosophers: Socrates; Antisthenes; Chrysippus; Epicurus (Picture taken at the British Museum by Lawrence OP)
I hereby issue a plea for everyone to embrace the wise thinkers of ancient times, and for posterity not to ever forget these men we like to call philosophers.
Let’s pay homage to these ancient philosophers who are inexplicably forgotten by the modern generations who live in a realm of superficiality, conflict, celebrity worship, technological dependency and general ignorance of themselves.
The wisdom to be found from reading the philosophical works of these men could, if we wished, serve an important function in guiding us all towards peace, unity and common sense which can make this world a paradise of joy and reason – but as things stand today, maybe that is a dream only Utopia can conjure up.
Most importantly, we must not forget the teachings that these philosophers provided, as they dived head first into the deep oceans of thought and attentiveness towards observing themselves, humanity and nature. Through their own self-learning they ceaselessly sought Truth so to provide us with the foundations to build a impregnable wall of wisdom for ourselves.
