Abstract

Divine Wisdom is presented by Sergius Boulgakov, an Orthodox theologian of the
first half of the 20th century, as a fundamental category of Christian creation theology. Starting from biblical references and after a solid philosophical-theological development, in Wisdom we find the balance between some aspects of the worldview that are paradoxical and therefore in tension and always open to the deepening that discerns the Mystery of God's plan. We refer to the divine creative activity and the personal Trinitarian perspective of the Creator, the differentiated but not incommunicable reality between Creator and creature, the presence and intervention of God in the world without altering the ontology of the created order and its historical freedom, the hope and realisation of the ultimate destiny of the world in God without this entailing the annihilation or end of created reality. These are complex questions to which sophiology responds with a serious and interesting discourse, which leads to a critical position that opens up, in turn, perspectives for research
