“Wisdom: The Feminine in the Divine” by Rev. Fr. Rogel Anecito L. Abais, S.J. dives deep into the character of “Sophia” or Lady Wisdom as expounded in the Scriptures. Building upon the critique of American feminist scripture scholar Rosemary Ruether, who considered the Wisdom Literature as still heavily androcentric despite its seeming exaltation of certain feminine figures, Fr. Abais invites us to revisit the text, focusing his analysis on the figure of “Sophia” and her “three-tiered unfolding” in the book of Wisdom. Here he demonstrates how Lady Wisdom is not only highly exalted in the book, but is virtually identified with the Divinity himself/herself, who “manifests his being in both feminine and masculine realities.”
