Question: Doesn't the traditional view also commend wisdom just like the wisdom view? What's the difference? (Chapter 11)

Answer: The traditional view is not against wisdom and believes that it may be helpful in finding God's individual will. The wisdom view believes that in the area of freedom, wisdom is determinative-we must be wise. We must be able to defend decisions by wisdom when no moral command determines the decision. The traditional view will elevate inward impressions over wisdom. The logic is simple. If the impression comes from the Spirit, it must have precedence over any wisdom discerned by man. Proponents will even emphasize how some inward directives from God contradict human wisdom. (If inward impressions equaled revelation, that logic would hold. But they don't; so it doesn't.) The wisdom view argues that impressions do not have God's authority, but the command to be wise does.
