Wesen und Wirken der Weisheit in der Sapientia Salomonis

About this book

The author addresses the controversial question of whether the personification of wisdom in the Sapientia Salomonis already represents a hypostasis or whether it is merely a preliminary stage in the sense of a poetic personification. Following an analysis of the historical traditions of the relevant wisdom texts in Proverbs 1-9, Job 28, Ecclesiasticus 1:1-10 and 24, the author proceeds to interpret the central texts of the Sapientia Salomonis (Wisdom 1:1-10; 7:1-8:1; 9:1-18 and 0:1-11:1).

When looking at the concept of wisdom and the associated problem of the mediation between God and the human being, one must assume that there are influences from contemporary philosophy, as numerous philosophical borrowings are to be found in the late Jewish text (Middle Stoa: Poseidonios of Apamea; Middle Platonism: Antiochos of Ascalon, Eudoros of Alexandria).

Reviews

"Insgesamt stellt Nehers Studie eine wertvolle Bereicherung zur Erforschung des geistesgeschichtlichen Kontextes der Sapientia Salomonis dar."
Johannes Marböck in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 7-8/2005

"Die Arbeit erfreut durch prägnante Ausdrucksweise und gut lesbaren Stil. Inhaltlich führt sie die Forschungen von Armin Schmitt und Otto Kaiser weiter. Dass man von der Weisheit in keinem der untersuchten Texte als einer Hypostase sprechen kann, macht das Buch über die Bibelwissenschaft hinaus auch für andere theologische Disziplinen bedeutsam."
Volkmar Premstaller in: Zeitschrift für Katholische Theologie 1-2005

"N. has written a successful volume from which the reader can learn a great deal."
Matthew Goff in: Catholic Biblical Quarterly 67/2005
