Opis

We talk about God. We write about God. We use words. Letters, words, and language are all developed constructs. All language falls short of what we perceive as reality. What is the impact of continuing to use male language for God without using female language? This brief book summarizes Rev. Dr. Barbara Thorington Green's reflections and insights. It is written to invite the reader to consider the present assumptions of the male nature of God and to consider fuller understandings of God. It is Dr. Green's belief that future references to God in our thoughts, churches, homes, and on the streets, need to include an equal blend of feminine and masculine images and language. As she writes in the preface, "We need fuller visions... The challenges are great, the needs are immediate. Children are listening."
