Wisdom as a Model for Jesus' Ministry

Mehr zum Buch

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.
