From CBE’s 2024 Conference “Tell Her Story: Women in Scripture and History” in Denver, Colorado.
This workshop is a basic introduction to the gendered language for God. It will look at biblical images for God and discuss why this issue is important. It will also help us to see that the Bible describes God in a much broader variety of ways than we often think and that it is not helpful to talk about God only using male imagery. Finally, it will look at the implications of this discussion for Christian worship and for the way in which we preach, evangelise, and generally talk about God.
