An essay written as part of my Grad. Dip. Theology in 2015.
This brief essay compares and contrasts the views of Paul Jewett and Anne Carr on the application of gendered language to God. The critical review is based on excerpts of Jewett’s book God, Creation, and Revelation and Carr’s article Feminist Theology. These articles consider the preponderance of male imagery in Christian discussion of God, which both consider to be unnecessary. In this essay I summarise the two excerpts and describe the key differences in their approaches.
