Abstract
The paper presents the idea of Wisdom, originated in the Biblical tradition. Wisdom does not start with knowledge, but with the devoutness and fear of God.
It is not only a kind of erudition, but rather a courage to conceive one’s life and existence, closely linked to the Creator. According to Is 11:1–3, wisdom makes part of the seven spirits and unites internally the prototype of the messianic character.
Wisdom is dynamic and brings into the human story a series of crises and trials that would testify to the growth, maturing and purification of the wise. It is in Christ, where the full form of wisdom is embodied.
His wisdom – St Paul speaks of “wisdom of the Cross” – brings justification, sanctifi cation and redemption (1Cor 1:30). Christ’s wisdom, originally divine, enters the history and is effi cient through the Church as multiform Wisdom of God (Eph 3:10).
