520 $aIs it okay to call God mother? John Cooper's Our Father in Heaven explores this question, offering a critique of inclusive language for God. Cooper closely examines how Scripture addresses God and points out the critical differences between the Bible's gendered language for God and inclusive language. In addition, he encourages the church to follow the Bible's model of using feminine imagery in reference to God. In a chapter titled "The Motherly Touch of Our Heavenly Father," he provides specific suggestions for making appropriate use of feminine imagery for God in public worship, church education, evangelism, pastoral counseling, personal devotions, scholarship, and art.
