Summary/Abstract: The article presents the Christian iconography, ecumenical studies, and feminist theology as the contemporary referring points of these theological studies which willingly reflect on sophiological idea. Apart from deconstruction there is a turn of wisdom in conducting the Humanist studies. The sapiential way requires to investigate the profound layers of human thought which is oriented on striving for truth in its synthetic and absolute dimension. The hypostasis of divine wisdom, sometimes called Sapientia or Sophia, is an idea of wisdom which describes, deeply than the Western Ratio, what the principle of being is, what Primary harmony is, what archaic peace is, all the thing which philosophers and mystics strive for.
