Abstract

This article considers wisdom within people´s journeys of life, and the gamut of its meanings. Several biblical resources are considered, and also ways of faith and knowledge in regions of the Americas are examined. Understanding of events and traditions, different interpretations, and bibliographical items, are taken into account. This essay follows the following steps: in the first part, wisdom in Israel is considered, both its more general presentation of wisdom and internal critical contributions (particularly in Job and in Qohélet). The second part (of this essay) deals with elements of wisdom and ritual, among indigenous, mestizo, and afro-american populations. Both a reading of biblical texts and an examination of popular traditions have their particular challenges. Wisdom includes communication of religious traditions and hopeful living. It speaks directly to the hearts of people throughout history. The Word is life-giving and it has cultural mediations.
