Why does the Bible use she for wisdom?

Answer 1

The Greco-Roman goddess of Wisdom was Sophia. thus the famous church in what is now istanbul (st. Sophia) really translates as the Holy Wisdom-the idea of a female personification of a virtue is not new or rare-Grace, Faith, Hope , Charity. actuially there always was a Holy Wisdom but whether Sophia WA a saint inthe sense od say st. paul is open to question. by the way a famous actress by this name is said to have a nose like a wooly mamoth-Godess of wisdom?
