| Description |
A critical look at concepts of God in the Abrahamic religions, the impact of these notions on religious and social practice, and the attempts to break out of these roles. Principal attention was given to the question of whether it is possible to view God as other than male. Catalog essays investigate the sources that generated the monotheistic notion of God, scrutinize ideas of the female as negative antithesis to the male, and present Jewish and other women whose artworks reflect a dialogue with the traditional notions of God in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. 7 catalog essays, including those on female goddesses in Ancient Israel (Christoph Uehlinger), Gnosis and Jewish mysticism (Micha Brumlik), images of the femininity of God in early Kabbalah (Peter Schäfer), and the development of the feminine dimension of God in Jewish mystical tradition (Rachel Elior). Antique and contemporary exhibits. Extensive catalog entries. No itemized listing. |
