The Passion of a Goddess?

Passion-of-a-goddess-jesus In searching the web for Christian Art, every now and again I have come across pictures of Jesus depicted as a woman. 

A woman? Yes! Take for instance, Passion of a Goddess.

The artist writes, "The owner of this site would like to develop the idea that giving God a sex is not honest. These believer of the idea that God can only be represented as a man, disregard the female half of the worlds population. And also its in his belief that a woman has greater ability to give love than a man. Christ represents the great love."

Now … is this just feminazi rantings?

Orrrr … something just masquerading as that?

Take a look at some of the other images and you be the judge.

Love? Are we talking about agape or eros do you think?

  1. I agree that the paid membership aspect and the way that these particular women are displayed leads one to think that this site is playing on the erotic (though a linking of sacred and erotic does not necessarily have to be lascivious). But the idea of Christa (Christ as female) has a broader academic and artistic background than a look at this site might suggest.

  2. Linzc, you’re right that there’s more to this than that one site suggests. I actually have many more female Christ images that I may roll out in the future. Though even the less erotic ones represent a significant challenge to incarnational teaching I reckon.
