“In the incarnation, God has deemed the female body - the impure, bleeding female body - worthy to handle the most sacred of all things, the very body of God. “
(Amy Peeler, pg 61, Women & the Gender of God)
In this episode (released oh-so-close to Christmas 2023), I am beyond pleased to be able to share with you a conversation with the Rev Dr Amy Peeler. Amy is a professor at Wheaton College, an associate rector at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, and the author of (the book we primarily discuss) Women and Gender of God. This book is an important exploration of the way our understandings about both God and humanity flow in both directions… and how we ought to be careful about that.
**At the beginning of the conversation I mention that Amy just got back from “SBL” (which is the Society for Biblical Literature), and we also drop the term “ETS” (which is the Evangelical Theological Society). **
