bhazz Referring to wisdom as 'her' has its historic roots in Greek mythology. Sophia was the Greek goddess of wisdom and it carried forward as a result of the Hellenistic influence of the Greek and Roman empires and ultimately into the Septuagint. From a philosophical standpoint, philosophy itself means 'love of wisdom'. And, like a woman giving birth to a child, wisdom, when added with a sincere desire for discovering truth - gives birth to knowledge. Brian |
