I'm writing a paper and am looking for a good definition of sophia, and was wondering if anyone could help me?

How about 'wisdom'?

Or how about 'That nice lady that used to live across the street'?

What exactly are you looking for? You might try looking up church fathers on the net and look up their expositions of the OT word for wisdom translated as 'sophia' in the psalms.

It's being discussed on:

It is also discussed in "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time" by Marcus Borg beginning on page 96.

Are we talking about the heretical liberal idea that we should call God "Sophia", a female goddess of wisdom rather than a Father God?

Yes, John,

RM-COUNSEL is an RM/CC/CoC site but they were getting pretty far out.

They might as well join the Disciples.
