| Abstract: | Biblical poetry provides a picture of Woman Wisdom or Sophia and her relation with God and humans which does not revolve around traditional notions of sin, guilt and redemption. Rather, it centres in joy, learning, wisdom, playing in God's presence and wonder. Exploring biblical wisdom and the human experience of wonder illumines the teaching‐learning relation and the importance of playful wonder in spiritual formation. |
