| Posted 7/23/2001 8:51 AM (GMT -6) |   | I’m posing this question from a skepticism that I don’t necessarily share. A feminist author I read characterized Christian worship thus: “the ego of the patriarchal God must be flattered (‘glorified,’ ‘magnified’) like that of the patriarchal male.” How would you respond to this characterization? I think a response is important: 1) given the postmodern hermeneutic of suspicion and critique of power; 2) greater awareness of and sensitivity to sexism in our culture; 3) for the sake of reflecting on and improving our own doctrines of God.  pia
