Abstract
"In the first of these five lectures, we stressed one of the basic but too often forgotten or ignored postulates of Christian theology—that God is alone and only, not a member with others of any class or group of beings. In Latin, God is sui generis or of his own kind. In terms of gender and sexuality, if God were either really "he" or "she" or "he and she," such a god would merely be part of this larger group of sexual or gendered beings. Although people may choose to imagine God as "he," God is beyond he-ness and she-ness, just as God is beyond every other category we can imagine."
