metadata.value: There is a common misconception among some Christians that the idea of God as
  a feminine principle is strongly influenced by liberal theology and queer studies of
  the 20th and 21st centuries. In part, this is true: attention to women’s legal awareness
  in modern Europe raises the question of the relationship between the sexes. However,
  carefully studying earlier periods of the history of church creativity, we find
  that saints and heroes of faith of different denominations came to the conviction that
  God is the Mother and has traditionally female characteristics, not at all in connection
  with the struggle of the fair sex for their rights, but thanks to personal mystical
  experience and perception of the Trinity as a prototype of the earthly human family.
  The article is devoted to the study of the topic of the femininity of God in general and
  the Holy Spirit in particular. The author suggests looking at the Holy Trinity through
  the prism of the outstanding writers of the Christian world from the 1st to the 19th
  centuries, showing that the modern theology of femininity has a long and rich prehistory,
  rooted in Christian antiquity and closely connected with family archetypes.
