In 1997, creator Joss Whedon revisited a screenplay that had previously been adapted into a relatively forgotten horror-comedy film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dissatisfied with how the film turned out, Whedon developed his own version of the story as an allegory for the "horrors" of growing up. For seven years, Buffy and her friends (the Scoobies) battled demons, both of the metaphorical and literal kind and, along the way, took part in a series that defines the term "cult classic."

The writings of the wisdom literature books are varied. They are linked only in terms of their common author, but even that is not always a given.

The Book of Proverbs imparts practical wisdom that still enlightens us today, despite being thousands of years removed from their original writing. Ecclesiastes offers tremendous insight into the human experience, and reminds us that all the pursuits of this world, if they are lived without God at ...
