Summary: | Sophiology has come to the fore over the past century due in large part to the Russian sophiologists and the rise of feminist hermeneutics.

This article takes the theological ambiguities surrounding the ontological status of Sophia, the Wisdom of God, as a context for approaching a systematic clarification that may assist a broader reception of sophiology into mainstream theology. |
