Reading @mlsatlow& #39;s article on "Categories in Religion" for the first time, and think it& #39;s really useful in thinking through if we should still use "wisdom tradition" or "wisdom literature" or not. I& #39;ve already note that the "problem of definition" for both is the same struggle

In my chapter where I have to talk about this part of me just wants to say, well you can& #39;t really define it so I& #39;ll just say nothing, which is exactly what Satlow says not to do. Same when I finally get to my cult book about not wanting to define what I mean by it bc problems

Dear reader, @adlewis made me come up with a tentative definition and explain what I was choosing and why before my book proposal was accepted it. He wouldn& #39;t let me shy away from making a commitment to a definition and a model even if they change later
