Summary Following a survey of the biblical and classical background, this book offers a detailed exploration of the theme of wisdom in patristic, Byzantine, and medieval theology up to and including Gregory Palamas and Thomas Aquinas in Greek East and Latin West, respectively. Three principal levels of Christian wisdom discourse are distinguished: wisdom as human attainment, wisdom as divine gift, and wisdom as an attribute or quality of God
