Theology and Religious Studies A-Level Webinars Season 6: Sallie McFague: Can we call God ‘Mother’?

Theology & Religious Studies Webinars return for a Sixth Series!
In short, sharp online sessions, expert lecturers share their knowledge and engage with topics and issues from the A Level Religious Studies syllabus. A level students and teachers are especially welcome, but also GCSE and Key Stage Three, and indeed anyone with an interest!
Sallie McFague: Can we call God ‘Mother’?
In this webinar we will explore issues around Christian God-talk and gender. We’ll address what’s at stake when thinking about the language we use for God and we’ll ask what theological grounds there might be for imaging God as Mother. Drawing specifically on the work of eco-feminist theologian, Sallie McFague, we’ll explore her concerns about male-centred God-language and her proposed model of God as Mother.
