Our Father in Heaven : Christian Faith and Inclusive Language for God
Overview: Is it okay to call God mother? The author's book explores this intriguing question, offering an evenhanded critique of inclusive languag of God. The author closely examines how the Scriptures address God and points out the critical differences between the Bible's gendered language for God and inclusive language. In addition, the author encourages the church to follow the Bible's model of using feminine imagery in reference to God. In a chapter titled "The Motherly Touch of Our Heavenly Father," the author provides specific suggestions for making appropriate use of feminine imagery for God in public worship, church education, evangelism, pastoral counseling, personal devotions, scholarship, and art.
