This quote from a book by Thomas F Matthews (I don´t have the book), "The Clash of Gods: A Reinterpretation of Early Christian Art" recently caught my attention (quoted by Paul D´s blog "Is that in the Bible?"):
"Appearing in Gaul, Rome, Ravenna, and Thessalonica over a stretch of time from the mid-fourth century to the beginning of the sixth, [the feminine Christ] cannot be written off as a regional or transitory development. At the same time, the variety of contexts in which the feminine Christ appears suggests that there may not be any single explanation. (p. 135)".
Er, wut?
The linked articles below are non-scholarly (one is from a gay magazine!), but they do touch on this intriguing topic. The Montanists may have believed that Christ sometimes appeared in the form of a woman, and there are apparently sculptures of Jesus with female breasts. Even apart from this, he is often difficult to distinguish from the female characters in artistic depictions, due to his long hair and lack of a beard.
Another topic to explore on a boring Monday evening...
Om bara Josef och Maria haft vett att låta honom genomgå ett könsbyte i tid så hade hans liv blivit mycket lättare.

Den sanne androgynen behöver inga biologiska könsbyten, han kan ändra sin skepnad som det Hen behagar!
