Having already observed that the opening Prologue of the Gospel of John is a poem of Wisdom Christology, we turn in this episode to see if the rest of the book shows similar signs. In fact, there are over a dozen instances where Jesus within the Gospel of John is described in terms echoing Lady Wisdom. John's Gospel appears to be the best example in the New Testament of Wisdom Christology, and this episode details why that is in fact the case.

John's Gospel begins with an eighteen verse prologue where Jesus is depicted as the incarnation/embodiment of God's creative and powerful word. However, it is argued in this episode that the echoes of Lady Wisdom, rather than the personified 'word', would have been more clearly evident by the earliest readers of the Gospel of John. This episode notes the evidence for Wisdom Christology in John 1:1-18.

As we continue our journey through the New Testament, we arrive at the Book of Hebrews. Within the first three verses of this sermon, there appear to be four statements about Christ that have their origins in descriptions about Lady Wisdom, specifically from the book Wisdom of Solomon. For the author of Hebrews, the risen and exalted Son of God is the fullest embodiment of God's Wisdom so that things formerly said about this Wisdom figure can now be attributed to Jesus.

Within our ongoing study of Wisdom Christology within the New Testament, we move to examine the Gospel of Matthew. Within this ancient biography of the human Jesus, we observe five deliberate connections with Lady Wisdom. For the Gospel of Matthew, just like 1 Corinthians and Colossians before it, Jesus Christ is the fullest embodiment of God's personified Wisdom and is now the locus of God's wise teaching and interaction with his creation.
