Tr initeit, mannelijkheid en vrouwelijkheidEen kritische analyse en zoektocht naar een verantwoordelijke methodeLeene, Alida Maria Jantina Universiteit Stellenbosch almatine@sun.ac.za Abstract Trinity, masculinity and the feminine -a critical analysis in search of a responsible methodologyRegarding the relationship between the Trinity and gender, theologians diff er radically. Th is article fi rst show how the Trinity is seen as a model for gender relationships from an immanent and economic point of view. Th ereaft er the critique of projection is discussed. In searching for a theological responsable method, the image of God is bought in as a key for understanding the creation of male and female. A Trinitarian and relational perspective on the image of God is helpfull in focussing on the relationship with God, rather than the relations in God.
