From the chapter "Mind and Verification" in "Rationality and Mind in Early Buddhism", Frank J Hoffman, pgs. 95 and 96
"If my line of thinking is correct, then it is a mistake to think that there is a body of propositions which can be rightly labelled "religious knowledge", in a sense even remotely analogous to scientific knowledge. Unlike 'religious knowledge' there may indeed be 'religious wisdom', but if there is, it is to be found embodied in the lives of religious people, and as with philosophical wisdom, cannot be defined in a set of propositions but is embodied in practice. Unlike knowledge, wisdom is thus spared the indignity of becoming a commodity."
