> Talbert finds these in non-canonical Jewish sources which are earlier than
> Paul's writing.  He cites Sirach 24; Baruch 3; Wisdom of Solomon 6-9; 2
> Esdras 5 and 2 Baruch 48 for the descent of Wisdom as savior and
> the last 2
> for its ascent.  Then gives Wisdom of Solomon 9 and 18 and several
> references from Philo as evidence for a many-named descending/ascending
> redeemer.  Talbert also cites many pre-Christian pagan sources
> which contain
> similar myths.

> Hope this is helpful.
