    Theology: Naming God

    [Print] | [PDF] | [Email]

    Feminist theology overtly objects to masculine names for God, but Christopher Seitz says that the debate goes much deeper: “what is at stake in modern debates is not whether God is father or can be addressed as ‘he.’  Rather, what is at stake is whether we are entitled to call God anything at all.  The proper question is whether we have any language that God will recognize as his own, such that he will know himself to be called upon, and no other, and within his own counsel the to be in a position to respond, or to turn a deaf ear.”
