Wisdom as a Model for Jesus' Ministry

Viac o knihe

The book explores the Jewish wisdom tradition's impact on early Christology, particularly how Wisdom's roles were adapted to Jesus. It highlights that while Wisdom was recognized as a mediator of creation, she also served as a historical agent guiding Israel. This perspective informs the portrayal of Jesus in the "Lament over Jerusalem," where he embodies a divine mediator rather than an incarnation of pre-existent Wisdom. The text connects Jesus to earlier divine representations, illustrating his role as a contemporary figure of divine guidance.
