Summary: | It was easy to anticipate that there would be some criticisms of Margaret Hebblethwaite's widely praised book “Motherhood and God” from conservative quarters, and what the criticism would be. And our publishing, in our last issue, of Deborah F. Middleton's article “God as Mother—a necessary debate” has brought us letters from readers arguing that all who discern “motherhood” in God must be mistaken. But questions about Margaret Hebblethwaite's book have not come solely from the right. Here Mary Pepper, one of the organizers of Christian Women's Information and Resources (CWIRES), criticizes the book from a feminist perspective and the author replies. We shall be publishing a review which looks at the book from yet another perspective later. |
