Women, Gender, and the Incarnation
Amy Peeler & Gerald Hiestand
How does the incarnation relate to our theology of gender? What does it mean that we describe God as "Father" and "Son"? What significance, if any, do we assign to Jesus' maleness? How should orthodox Christians engage with critical and post-Christian feminist scholarship? What can we learn about masculinity and femininity from the biblical narrative?
