Sophiology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sophiology (from sophia Σοφια greek for- wisdom) is a branch of Christian theology primarily concerned with the Wisdom of God. Secondary and tertiary aspects of sophiology involve the relationship between the visible and invisible worlds, the role of nature, as well as teleology. Sophiology has roots in Wisdom Theology, nineteenth and twentieth century Russian Theology, and contemporary feminism.
