| Summary: | Denise Dijk examines in her article the ideology critique in the theological work of Sallie McFague. Upon what grounds does McFague base her forthright rejection of the traditional metaphorical language about God as almighty king and all-knowing ruler? And how far is her criticism of the dominating and harmful aspects of this image of God constructed upon a one-sided and rather anachronistic notion concerning the nature of God-language and its users? According to Dijk, in order to make a plausible argument for the changing of language about God and to God it is necessary to characterize the positions and opinions of the two involved discussion partners, namely 'mainstream Christianity' and critical feminist theologians. Further, the relationship between images of God and experience of reality requires fundamental research. In order to arrive at an inclusive and relevant God-talk the complexity (of meanings) of the current models for God should be taken seriously. |
