摘　　要：Despite the numerous existing accounts on the equality of sexes,feminists have openly expressed their dissatisfaction on the Christian doctrine of the image of God:To them,the reality is that,the world has always belonged to men.While trying to seek support from Holy Scripture,feminists decry prejudices in the Christian model which has so far,failed to provide a feminine imagery of God;this has caused an open clash between feminists’and Christians’views on the role of a male God in promoting equality of sexes.This paper presents biblical evidence of the image of God as an attempt to clarify the reliability of the Christian belief in a male God.While this study adopted a qualitative research design,the author used qualitative approach in the analysis of feminists’arguments against the patriarchal chauvinism observed in the Bible.The paper concludes that,Christian conception of a male omniscient and omnipotent Creator is not just a mere theorisation for it to be amended or reconceptualised,but a complete explanation of the believer’s humility and submission to divine power and/or authority.
