Central to debates about Jesus is the issue of whether he uniquely
embodies the divine. While this discussion continues unabated, both
those who affirm and those who dismiss, Jesus' divinity regularly
eclipse the reality that in many of the earliest strands of the
Christian tradition when Jesus' divinity is proclaimed, Jesus is
imaged as the female divine. Sally Douglas investigates these early
texts, excavates the motivations for imaging Jesus as Woman Wisdom
and the complex reasons that this began to be suppressed in the 2nd
and 3rd centuries. The work concludes with an exploration of the
powerful implications of engaging with the ancient proclamation of
Jesus-Woman Wisdom in contemporary context.
