Our Mother: The Holy Spirit by Marianne Widmalm, M.A. is the definitive book on the gender of the Holy Spirit as revealed in the Hebrew scriptures of the Old Testament, the teachings of Jesus, and the writings of early Church fathers. This book provides a thorough examination of the Hebrew scriptures in the Old Testament of the Bible and the Jewish understanding of the Holy Spirit's gender as feminine without compromising Yahweh's masculine gender. Learn how She influenced the teachings of Jesus and early Christian Church writers. Jesus, in his native Aramaic language, would have referred to the Holy Spirit as a “She.” Many of the principles and nuances used to described the Holy Spirit in the original manuscripts have been purposely ignored from pulpits in order to promote many of today's traditions of men. This book challenges Believers to return to their biblical roots regarding the Holy Spirit and Her part in creation and the spiritual birth of Believers.
Connecting events from Genesis to the teachings of Jesus and His early followers, Ms. Widmalm describes how understanding the true identity of the Holy Spirit in Scripture is invaluable to the Christian faith, giving Believers a more intricate understanding of God's creation of Adam and Eve, His intent for marriage both spiritually and physically, and the ministry of Jesus. Yahweh was meticulous in His description of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament, associating Her with Wisdom and acknowledging Her presence in the creation of the world. He called Her His daily delight. She is present “In the beginning...” and the model for the physical form of Eve. Learn the original revelation of God's physical attributes as both male and female yet united as one revealed in Genesis and how this positively reinforces the teachings of Jesus and the Apostle Paul.
Ms. Widmalm examines how the drastic change in theology for the Holy Spirit occurred from linguistic differences between Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek and also explores the negative consequences that have resulted from removing the Holy Spirit's feminine gender in lieu of an all-male Trinity viewpoint. Discover the Holy Spirit Jesus taught, not the altered version developed hundreds of years after Christ's death and resurrection. See why changing Her gender created profound misunderstandings about God and the Bible in modern fueling modern feminism and why feminism is also wrong.
From Genesis to Revelations and many other historical writings of the early Christians, Our Mother: The Holy Spirit exposes the true identity of the Holy Spirit and why it matters to Believers today. Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as a “She,” and it's time the Church today followed Jesus and did the same.
