Summary/Abstract: On the basis of relevant biographical information, this study presents Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, the most representative person of the Mexican and Hispano-American literary Baroque, in a broader theological context. Attention is focused on both auctorial and personal attributes that clarify her theological, intellectual, poetical, prosaic, and dramatic capabilities: the authenticity of poetic existence, talent, remarkable erudition, even her identity of a woman – a Creole. These attributes become substantial in the context of a holistic way of understanding the theological platform of her works, even more so if we realize that they profoundly shaped their final form. Amidst the already consolidated scholastic philosophy, they showed signs of the beginning of a dialogue with the modern European philosophy.
