In this episode, KT & Mary discuss KT's talk on 'Woman as the Image of God.'
We talk about issues in considering God as primarily masculine (e.g. ‘we are all feminine in relation to God’) and how we can actually value the feminine, i.e., not patronizing or condescending or caricaturing. We also talk about the primacy of spiritual acts, that men and women are fundamentally both active and passive, and why thinking about God as feminine is good for men.

This episode is a recording from a talk given at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, as part of their Salon Series, on January 27, 2024.
In the talk, KT addresses the question as to how women as women image God, by exploring the gender-coded dyads of Father/Mother, Priest/Victim, and Bridegroom/Bride and providing a theological and philosophical argument from the Church's tradition for thinking about God as mother, victim and bride.
Major references include Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, Julian of Norwich, and a variety of Church Fathers.
KT used slides during the talk, which unfortunately we don't have a way to link to at the moment.

In this episode, KT & Mary discuss two essays by Dorothy Sayers: "Are Women Human?" and "The Human Not Human." Topics include men taking 'women's work,' considering men as 'homo' and 'vir' but women only as 'femina' and whether we have any right to be touchy about olde timey gender norms.
As you'll notice, this episode was recorded in 2024...
Lastly, the episode Mary mentions about Ephesians 5 will come out in season 2.

In this episode, we discuss Origen’s Revenge: The Greek and Hebrew Roots of Christian Thinking on Male and Female by Brian Patrick Mitchell.
Mitchell examines the two streams of tradition from ancient communities that inform contemporary Christian thought on sexual difference: Greek and Hebrew (anti-sexual and pro-sexual, respectively). We also talk about Trinitarian theology and the problem with the gap between neat theories of ‘what women are like’ or ‘how men and women relate’ and the reality of individuals and their unique relationships.
