| Description | The language of God as Father has perhaps come under the most intense scrutiny from feminist theologians to date. Although feminists such as Elizabeth Johnson, Sallie McFague and Catherine LaCugna offer detailed examinations, the majority of feminist literature tends to focus on one particular person or hypostasis within the trinitarian community; either on God the Father, God the Son or God the Holy Spirit. The language of Father, Son and Holy Spirit can never claim exclusivity and must always be accompanied by nonpatriarchal alternatives so as to draw attention to the inadequacy of such language as well as reaffirming the incomprehensibility of God. As such, most feminists understand language as a gateway' into knowledge of God rather than as something which is directly identifiable with the divine. Such a position is expressed well by Letty Russell in her book, Human Liberation in a Feminist Perspective A Theology.The language of God as Father has perhaps come under the most intense scrutiny from feminist theologians to date.
