The Engendering God: Male and Female Faces of God

In this book Carl Raschke and Susan Doughty Raschke argue that Gods own self-revelation is neither exclusively male nor female but both at once. With this self-revelation of the two in one the authors contend that the Scriptures are actually a radical proclamation of gender equality. Basing their findings on historical anthropological and biblical scholarship they make a compelling argument that this awareness of Gods dual nature was widely accepted and understood in the early years of Christianity but was intentionally obscured through the ages.
