Asks the question, If traditional male God imagery can impair female identity meaning, why is it that so many women continue religious practices? Contends that diety image and definitions of maleness are derived from mothering. Explores–utilizing an object relations perspective–how the transfer of mothering characteristics into the image of maleness affect female identity meanings, and offers hints about dealing with this transfer process in both therapeutic and theological contexts.
