Abstract
SUMMARY The research and theory on the God image has neglected considering important diversity issues. Despite this, it is evident that culture, gender, and sexual orientation significantly impact the way people experience God. The paper begins by building a basis for understanding the how various forms of diversity, including cultural diversity and religious diversity, impact the God image. Specific applications of women, LGBT, and black God images are explored. It is purported that while white males are able to base religious experience and a God image off of similarities to God, women, LGBT individuals, and people of color are placed in a position of relating to God based upon dissimilarity. Implications for future research and therapy developments are discussed.
