Speaking the Christian God: The Holy Trinity and the Challenge of FeminismAlvin F. Kimel This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This unique collection of essays offers an orthodox, constructively critical response to contemporary feminist theology. While affirming the dignity and equality of man and woman as created in the image of God, the contributors also argue that the trinitarian language for God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- is a biblical given not to be changed.
