Biblical scholar Amy Peeler’s new book, Women and the Gender of God, is a deep, scriptural exploration of the way gender and human embodiment color our relationship with God — and if we take the Virgin birth seriously, then not only color that relationship, but in some ways substantiate it. Whether you’re in a world that venerates the Virgin Mother or debates about complimentarian vs. egalitarian, you are going to find something in this conversation that will challenge and teach you about the life of our Lord with us, through the way Scripture and imagination use gender, through the lives of women, and through the life and incarnation of Jesus Christ. And by the end you might get the impression that evangelicals will be leading the next big Marian movement.
