I like your analysis of spiritual attributes. Calvin's theme in book 1, God as our Creator, has, from my perspective, been on holiness. I've noted his references to spiritual attributes and "fear of the Lord" however did not make the connections you have. I think we'd all agree that people have sought wisdom throughout history via philosophy, various theologic conceptualizations and just plain common sense. Wisdom in various venues might be viewed as distinguishing good from evil, right from wrong, and also generating those qualities in life which most people seek, perhaps best characterized from the fruit of the Spirit: joy, love, peace, ... etc. As Christians we seek wisdom in the revealed word of God, which is scripture. So, if I have interpreted your study correctly, we seek wisdom in the word of God, the Holy Spirit enables an ever increasing knowledge of God in that we come to know Jesus Christ better as our Lord and Savior. The consequence of those two steps is an ever increasing knowledge of God's will, for us, which results in an increasingly better understanding of what is really important in life. It actually seems to be a cycle which increases our capacity for God to come close to us. I like that one verse you use from Proverbs: Prov 3; 19 - 20   "... by wisdom the Lord founded the earth ... by understanding He established the heavens ... by His knowledge the deeps broke forth and the clouds drop down dew ..."; I'd interpret this to mean that wisdom is available in our physical existance on earth, men are aware of wisdom and many, over the ages, have sought to increase their wisdom in various ways. Understanding is essentially a spiritually based attribute. An ever increasing knowledge of God both "springs up" from wisdom and "drops down" from understanding. As Christians, we have scripture to facilitate this process - what a wonderful gift. I believe that I'll need to think this study over for awhile. Thanks.
