DFV Front Cover
The image we have of Godde plays a significant role not only in our religion but also in our spirituality. Christians predominantly picture Godde as male and masculine … which often results in a curtailing of women’s gifting, those they’re born with and those the Spirit imparts, and their career opportunities in professional ministry. Yet, biblically speaking, both men and women were created in the image of Godde. As such, Godde is fully masculine and fully feminine. In keeping with the Genesis narrative both Testaments feature women in ways that are culturally progressive–often placing women on parr with men. The Bible therefore stands as an ongoing corrective to the way situational texts, especially Paul’s writing, gets used in culturally regressive ways today.
This Study Bible is being created by a small team of men and women. A number of translations have embraced gender-inclusive language in reference to generic persons (to replace to generic masculine). The Divine Feminine Version or DFV is, however, the first translation of the New Testament to go beyond this and feature only feminine language in reference to Godde.
For those looking to explore the Feminine in Godde, and therewith transform their own spirituality, this text is a must! Head on over to http://godde.wordpress.com to grab a copy of the PDF. A print-on-demand version will soon be available too.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
