Is God Masculine?
Orthodoxy versus Traditionalism
by Alan G. Padgett
Editor’s Note: The following article is a critique of Touchstone’s position articulated in recent editorials on “gender-inclusive” Bible translation. It was first printed in Priscilla Papers, 16/4 (Fall 2002), and is reprinted with permission from Christians for Biblical Equality. Senior editor S. M. Hutchens has written a response, entitled “Children of a Better God.”

"There are magazines worth reading but few worth saving . . . Touchstone is just such a magazine."
—Alice von Hildebrand
"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
—Anthony Esolen, Touchstone senior editor
