I think that the idea that sex was made in God’s image has caused a bit of confusion for many. Every time I re-read Genesis 1, I cannot escape that while humanity is said to have been made in God’s image, male and female (the same Hebrew terms used for the animals, saying that they are amle and female) are not. Even N.T. Wright use to believe that sex was made in God’s image, but then animals would be sharing in that aspect of the divine image. It has never made sense to me, yet this (however it’s worked out or explained) IS the reason why ‘CBMW’ type understand a spiritual difference between men and women. Even when I read egal books in the past, they were not clear on whether or not sex was part of the divine image which kept the water muddy.
