Debbie Blue.

"The Godhead is beautiful material for
Trinity Sunday: it is not some decrepit, removed
passionless, patriarch, but 'God nursing'—this intimate
loving delighting-in that spills out to all of creation,
'rejoicing in the inhabited world and delighting in the
sons of men.'"

put his trust in us to manage the resources of the earth wisely." |

"Bone of My Bone and Flesh of My Flesh," Phyllis A. Bird, Theology
Today, 1994.
| "The examples of Genesis I and Psalm 8 alert us to two
dangers in appeal to biblical statements as authority for contemporary
faith. Both appear to offer general pronouncements about the nature of
humankind with universal applicability. In fact, both are concerned with a
very limited question-the place of humans within the created order. Both
also assume male models as representative of the species." |

"What Are Human Beings?" Carl Schultz, Houghton College.
| "This question of Psalm 8 is located in the context of
the physical world. Psalm 8 is a night liturgy, reference only being made
to the night sky, against which vastness the worshipper feels
insignificant." |
