Should Christians Call God a She? With Clark Bates— The Alisa Childers Podcast #62

Picture

Lately I've noticed a trend of Christians referring to God as a "she," or with female pronouns. Is this a biblical way to think about God? What about feminine metaphors for God in Scripture? Is there a tradition in church history we can trace this to? What about the personification of wisdom (Sophia) in the Bible and non-canonical literature?  On today's podcast, Clark Bates and I discuss these questions and more, ultimately asking, should Christians call God a she?
