The Hebrew Bible and Christian scriptures contain unexpected wisdom—often hidden in plain sight. In this month’s reflection, Charis Caldwell uncovers the often-overlooked role of “Sophia” (Wisdom) as a divine feminine presence woven throughout Judeo-Christian texts. From the poetic voice of Proverbs to the mystical undertones of early Christian writings, Charis reveals how wisdom emerges not just as knowledge, but as relationship—intimate, embodied, and sometimes subversive. When faith becomes rigid, wisdom disrupts. When systems lose compassion, wisdom protests. With curiosity and care, we’ll explore how recovering the wisdom tradition within Judeo-Christianity might bring new depth to both spiritual seekers and skeptical exiles. This is not your childhood Sunday School. This is an invitation to meet the Divine in her more elusive, intuitive, and fiercely loving form.
