Episode notes
Imaging God
- Humankind images God both individually and collectively, starting with male and female.
- This duality is essential, as no single person fully represents God's image.
Adam: Individual and Collective
- Some argue that woman images man, not God directly, but the text shows Adam as both individual and collective ("humankind").
- The Hebrew word "Adam" can mean both the first man and humankind.
Divine Feminine
- God isn't gendered; gendered language helps us understand God's qualities.
- A divine feminine exists; women represent aspects of God that men don't.
