Religion
Spanish term or phrase: salvación sapiente
This is a text about Jung by and Argentine thinker. I am not sure whether wise, enlightened, informed, or something else would be the best translation of "sapiente" here:

Pareciera que en algún sentido la ciencia se opone a la religión, pero, en otro sentido, conviven más fácilmente cuando ciencia y religión se circunscriben a sus propias esferas. Sin embargo, la gnosis presenta un nuevo desafío, pues constituye un modo de conocimiento que pretende exceder al de la ciencia y que cumple con el ideal de una salvación sapiente….

Many thanks!

Another possibility here might be "salvation by knowledge [alone]."
