“When the Bible uses the word helper, there is a divine context for it. When the word is first introduced in Genesis 2:18 — “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him” — it is the same Hebrew word (‘ezer) that is used most often to refer to God throughout the Old Testament. If God, who is obviously and infinitely superior to us, unblushingly refers to Himself as our helper, we should be proud to use the same term” (Carolyn McCulley, Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World, 80).
