Wilkin opens with a bold claim: our feelings about God are only as reliable as our knowledge of God. Before diving into her method, take a moment to reflect honestly on what has driven your own approach to Scripture.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Wilkin begins by describing the gap between women's hunger for God and their actual knowledge of Scripture. Does that description resonate with your experience? Where have you felt that gap most acutely?
2.She argues that our feelings about God are only as trustworthy as our knowledge of God. What are the implications of that statement?
a.Can you think of a time when your feelings about God led you in a direction that better biblical knowledge might have corrected?
b.Does making knowledge primary feel cold or clinical to you? Why or why not?
3.Wilkin is writing specifically to women. Why do you think she narrows her audience? Do you think the problems she identifies are unique to women, or more broadly human?
