Abstract

The woman Wisdom, God, and ecojustice: Ideology of the body in Proverbs 8:1–9:18 This article examines the ideology of the body, specifi cally in terms of the gender of Wisdom and God, from an ecojustice perspective. Femininity within a God construct could contribute to a value system that incorporates compassion, interrelatedness and mutual care. In Proverbs 8:1–9:18, however, the woman Wisdom does not represent an ecofriendly construct, but simply enhances and supports the patriarchal, masculine values incorporated in the God Yahweh.
