God, Mom! ‐ the blessings of breasts and womb suffering, a central theme in Job ‐ being all about motherhood “God is a woman” ‐ Job doesn't curse God as Satan predicted he would God's speech, judged by commentators ‐ more of an end run around Job's complaints than a satisfactory response to them Shadday originating within a paradigm of divine‐human relations ‐ highlighting God's role as guarantor of fertility from mother goddesses to classical theism ‐ “God is a woman,”or more precisely, a mother if God is perfect, God is also immutable or unchanging ‐ change in a perfect being, could only be for the worse seeing God as epitome of maternal care ‐ surpassing the very best of mortal mothers in nurturance “Defective and misbegotten” ‐ Thomas Aquinas's offensive theory, that women were “misbegotten” males “The true mother of life and all things” ‐ conception of God as Mother, fostering feelings of gratitude and arousing a desire to help others
