Abstract:

The Logos in Christianity and the Maiden for Bahá'u'lláh can be equated as one and the same eternal reality; the divine image of wisdom in Proverbs; Sophia and Logos are combined in the feminine personification of the Most Great Spirit.

Notes:

See also Immanence and Transcendence in Theophanic Symbolism (Sours, 1992).
