Description
A robust theological argument against the assumption that God is male. Amy Peeler challenges the widely held assumption that the Bible depicts a male God, arguing instead that God values women and empowers their agency. Through a deep reading of the incarnation narratives in the New Testament, Peeler shows how the Bible depicts a God beyond gender, a savior who embodies both masculine and feminine qualities. She explores the significance of Mary's response to the annunciation and the virgin birth of Jesus, revealing how these events reverse the gendered division enacted in the garden of Eden. Peeler's work offers a fresh perspective on Christian theology, reasserting the value of women in the church and speaking out against the destructive idolatry of masculinity.
