Abstract

An analysis of personified Sophia’s soteriological role illuminates the interrelationship between eschatology and ontology in the Wisdom of Solomon. Read within the philosophical milieu of early imperial Platonism, Sophia functions similarly to divine intermediaries in the writings of Alcinous, Plutarch of Chaeronea, and Numenius of Apamea in how she leads souls from the earthly to the intellectual realm. In contrast to the temporal orientations in the treatise before and after, Wisdom 6:22–10:18 depicts Sophia’s benefit to humankind as ahistorical and ontological in nature.

一条奇妙的道路：中柏拉图主义对理解所罗门哲学智慧的意义

通过分析人格化的索菲亚在《所罗门智慧》中的救世作用，揭示了末世论与本体论的相互关系。在早期帝国柏拉图主义的哲学环境中，索菲亚的作用类似于阿尔西诺斯、普鲁塔克的Chaeronea和努曼纽斯的Apamea的著作中的神圣中介，她如何将灵魂从尘世引导到智力领域。与之前和之后的论文中的时间取向相反，智慧6:22-10:18将索菲亚对人类的好处描述为非历史的和本体论的本质。

期刊介绍： The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
