In what sense was Socrates a wise man?

[Sarah]

Socrates was wise in the sense that he knew that he was not all-knowing, or that he could not determine ultimate truth by his own reasoning skills. He was wise to recognize that there was no other man who was more gifted than himself.
From a Christian perspective, Socrates was unwise in that he was a proud human, and he did not know the Lord of Wisdom, God only wise, Jesus Christ. In other words, the greatest human minds and collective wisdom will only take a person or mankind to a certain temporal achievement. Godly wisdom that is given to man through the revelation of Jesus is eternal, true wisdom. The Bible states that the world will not understand this godly wisdom, but that it will appear as foolishness to the world. Obviously this goes beyond the scope of Plato's writings, but true wisdom is not something that humans find through our finite ability, but something that is given to us through the ultimate authority, God himself.
