ABSTRACT
Scriptures, the people ofIsrael were understood as Yahweh's Bride (Hos.l:lO) and in the New Testament the Church was understood as the Bride of Christ (Eph.5:2132). Jane described the origins of Sophia, and her intimate relationship with God as his spouse, or 'spirit of his spirit', and humans who were created to become 'one flesh' as depicted in Genesis 1:24. She recognizd Sophia as 'God's Spouse and mate, from whom the highest birth, The Eternal Wisdom did go forth,.4 It was Genesis I :27 that suggested that the masculine and feminine qualities found in God were duly reflected in human beings.
