"Many have studied the effects of theological language on women and the thoughts they generate in women about themselves in relation to the world. Carroll Saussy… concludes that there is a correlation between women’s self-esteem and their images for God. It is difficult for women to develop a ‘good enough’ self-esteem when their 'religious worldview’ is that women are not equal to men nor created in God’s image."
