The Book of Wisdom - Wisdom of Solomon

[Sacredstar]

This is a long read but well worth it when one as time. It speaks a lot about the divine feminine of the holy spirit.

The Book of Wisdom also known as the Wisdom of Solomon

My question for Dauer and BB does anything relating to this text exist in The Torah?

SS,

I glanced at it briefly. I am sure some of it relates back to Torah, the ideas presented within it, but I don't think there's really anything relating to it in the Torah. These are some links you might find helpful:

http://www.earlyjewishwritings.com/wisdom.html

and if you can get through at Jewish Encyclopedia, which is an uploaded early 20th c encyclopedia that usually has tons of info:

http://jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=211&letter=W

I didn't wait for it to load. Sometimes the site is very slow. But it contains a lot of very helpful information in most cases.

If you want a really thorough answer, try the anchor bible on WoS that the earlyjewishwritings page mentions. Anchor Bible is very good for that, but it represents the modern critical approach. The first few pages can be read at Amazon.

An old thread, but since I have always liked Wisdom, here is a link from chapter seven that works, giving her nature.

The text was written by a Jew, maybe Philo, but in Greek. So my question is, was 'Sophia' the term being translated as 'wisdom'?
