2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention in scripture:
academic studies Teaching and researching the Gospel of John for
thirty years has led author Mary L. Coloe to an awareness of the
importance of the wisdom literature to make sense of Johannine
theology, language, and symbolism: in the prologue, with Nicodemus,
in the Bread of Life discourse, with Mary and Lazarus, and in the
culminating "Hour." She also shows how the late Second Temple
theology expressed in the books of Sirach and Wisdom, considered
deuterocanonical and omitted from some Bible editions, are
essential intertexts. Only the book of Wisdom speaks of "the reign
of God" (Wis 10:10), "eternity life" (Wis 5:15), and the ambrosia
maintaining angelic life (Wis 19:21)-all concepts found in John's
Gospel. While the Gospel explicitly states the Logos was enfleshed
in Jesus, this is also true of Sophia. Coloe makes the case that
Jesus's words and deeds embody Sophia throughoutthe narrative. At
the beginning of each chapter Coloe provides text from the later
wisdom books that resonate with the Gospel passage, drawing Sophia
out of the shadows.
