Document Details : Title: Jesus, the Wisdom of God Subtitle: A Biblical Basis for Non-Androcentric Christology Author(s): JOHNSON, E.A. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 61 Issue: 4 Date: December 1985 Pages: 261-294 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.61.4.556282 Abstract : In the process of giving expression to their experience of the saying significance of Jesus and to his ultimate origin in God's gracious goodness, first-century Christians combed the Jewish religious tradition and Hellenistic culture for interpretive elements.
