The Feminine Incarnation

About this episode

The episode explores the concept of the feminine aspect of the divine and how it is represented in scripture and tradition.

Scripture Romans 1:20 (NIV) For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Refrain God is more than any image I have been given. Quote Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ "Although Jesus was clearly of the masculine gender, the Christ is beyond gender, and so it should be expected that the Big Tradition would have found feminine ways, consciously or unconsciously, to symbolize the full Divine Incarnation and to give God a more feminine character — as the Bible itself often does."
