Abstract

LEENE, Alida Maria Jantina. Trinity, masculinity and the feminine - a critical analysis in search of a responsible methodology. STJ [online]. 2015, vol.1, n.2, pp.491-510. ISSN 2413-9467.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/STJ.2015.V1N2.A23.

Regarding the relationship between the Trinity and gender, theologians differ radically. This article first show how the Trinity is seen as a model for gender relationships from an immanent and economic point of view. Thereafter the critique of projection is discussed. In searching for a theological responsable method, the image of God is bought in as a key for understanding the creation of male and female. A Trinitarian and relational perspective on the image of God is helpfull in focussing on the relationship with God, rather than the relations in God.

Keywords : Gender; trinity; Imago Dei; language; subordination.
