BISHOP HOUSTON’S WISDOM WHISPERS™

The Epigram
Gallery

Truth with an edge. Theology with a turn. Wisdom brief enough to remember and sharp enough to expose what the soul hoped to conceal.

600EPIGRAMS2 VOLUMES · 49 THEMES

A maxim points.
An epigram turns the mirror.

The maxim gives a principle to carry. The epigram gives a sentence that changes direction at the last moment—using irony, contrast, paradox, and wit to expose the distance between what people profess and how they live.

Two angles on the human condition.

Each volume contains 300 epigrams, but each enters the work through a different literary door.

The sharp sentence is not cruel.
It simply refuses to flatter.

Written by Bishop W. F. Houston Jr. for C H O F Ministry™.
