Summary

"In this book a scholar of religious language and feminism analyses the intimate and familial biblical imagery for God and divine action - Father, Mother, Son, Friend, being 'born again' - in the context of the central loci of Christian theology: doctrine of God and spirituality, Imago Dei and anthropology, Creation, Christology and Cross, Trinity and eschatology. Author Janet Soskiee argues for the audacity of scriptural metaphors that may look to us worn out by centuries of use."--Jacket.
