Summary/Abstract: God from the perspective of a contextual theology. The feminist movement and the authentic Christian position regarding the theme of theognosia. Feminism is an attack especially to the Trinitarian dogma. It considers that the Bible is dependent on a patriarchal age in which women were subordinate to men. Feminist theology offers a number of proposals for the "feminization" of God such as emphasising the feminine attributes of God or changing the name of God the Father in the Divine Mother. Thisn theological current also claims a return to the matriarchal period, when worship was practiced everywhere. Orthodox theology sees in this line a vulgarization of God, Who is also placed into human frames. It calls for a return to the authentic divine revelation, which must not be perverted by ideological models.
