In \u003ci\u003eWisdom Has Built Her House\u003c\/i\u003e 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 women's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeachers, 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 \u003ci\u003eWisdom Has Built Her House.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters are Wisdom on the Path of Righteousness (Proverbs 8:20),\" \"Divine Wisdom and Postexilic Monotheism,\" \"Wise Women and Counselors in Israel: Models for Personified \u003ci\u003eHokma,\"\u003c\/i\u003e \"'And When the Next War Began . . .'
