Schroer presents a differentiated image of Wisdom as female  creator  teacher  prophet  beloved  and more. In Wisdom Has Built Her House Schroer portrays Wisdom as a cosmic ordering principle  as universal architect  and as mediator of all scientific knowledge. Schroer also inquires about the contexts of these writings: about feminine wisdom and womens roles after the Babylonian exile  about the goddess traditions behind the idea of Sophia  and about their significance within a monotheistic symbol system. Schroer then follows the tradition of God imaged as Wisdom to the time of the Jesus- movement and the first Christian communities. Teachers  students  and those looking for a well-reasoned study of personified Wisdom - and reasons for reinvisioning our own images of God - will find this in Wisdom Has Built Her House.
