More about the book

Exploring the predominantly masculine symbolism in Biblical writings, this book challenges the exclusion of women and their spiritual experiences. It examines the implications of Christ as "the second Adam" while questioning Eve's role. A leading scholar of religious language and feminism delves into the Bible's imagery concerning sex, gender, and kinship, linking these themes to key Christian theological concepts such as the doctrine of God, Imago Dei, Creation, Christology, the Trinity, and eschatology.
