THE CREATION OF HU(WO)MANITY (August 2011)

Classes at Congregation Eitz Chayim
Two part series covering the creation texts in Genesis 1, 2, and 5:1-2.  If humanity is made in the image of God, what can we learn from the story of Creation about the gender of God and the gender of the first human?   Is God a He, a She, an androgyne?  Is the question relevant?  The concept of a gendered God is integral to many interpretations, and the concept of God as a He has troubled many modern religious people, but what does the text actually say?
