Not so much a woman in the human sense, but a female spirit or goddess, believed to be the post-exilic successor to the goddess Asherah in Judaic belief. Wisdom first appears in the book of Proverbs and is also referred to in 1 Enoch and other holy books of the Jews. She is also found in the New Testament, for example Luke 11:49 (quoting Jesus): "Therefore also said the Wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute" (most English translation show Wisdom in lower cases, obscuring the real meaning of the text). The worship of Wisdom appears to have ceased by the middle of the second century CE, except among Gnostics.
Wisdom was translated into Greek as Sophia, and some English mentions of her use Sophia rather than Wisdom.
Helmer Ringgren (Word and Wisdom) says that Wisdom was not an abstraction but 'a concrete being, self-existent beside God'.

In the first creation story in Genesis (verses 1:1-2:4a), men and women were created together in the same final act of creation (Genesis 1:27). Note that the text does not tell us whether there was only one man and one woman, or a number of each.The second creation story in Genesis (verses 2:4b-25) differs in some important ways from the first story. Man (Adam) was created as the first act of creation, then the animals and finally the woman (Eve). In this case, the man was most definitely created before the woman.Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man and woman) that the first story simply reported, and therefore ignore the sequence of creation found in the first story.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
