Rob Bell: We Need to See the Feminine Side of God
Dec 15 by Ingrid Schlueter
Rob Bell’s recent Nooma video is a doozie. The video, entitled “SHE”, is introduced this way:
A lot of us are comfortable with male imagery for God. But what about female imagery for God? Is God limited to a gender?
After looking at an increasingly androgynous Rob Bell in this video, I’d say Bell doesn’t seem limited to a gender either. Any time the feminine side of God is touted by religious leaders, support for homosexuality is never far behind. After all, the thinking goes, if man is made in God’s image, why would he/she be limited to a gender either, right? The goddess, feminine theology, introduced here by Bell and also by the recent Shack novel, will go a long way to push this thinking forward.
Here’s a preview to “She” with Rob Bell.
