Abstract

The article addresses the double aspect of immortality in the Book of Wisdom: immortality as a state and as a goal. I explore the texts where we can grasp the metaphorical structuring that views immortality as presence and destination. The investigation focuses on Wis 2,22-23, then it relates to other relevant texts that complete the reading.
