"The awareness that there are female metaphors for God in the Bible is helpful in a time of sensitivity to the impact of gender language: there is biblical warrant for female images.
Moreover, this is not simply a matter of linguistic gender equality (important as that is), for these images affect the psyches of both men and women and shape attitudes toward society and nature."
~Marcus Borg, The God We Never Knew
Painting by Elisabeth Slettnes
