| Summary |
"Many traditional understandings of divine power begin with thinly disguised rejections of the female body and connection to the natural world. Feminist theologians from Jewish, Christian, Goddess, and other traditions are reimagining divine and human power as embodied, embedded in a changing world, and deeply related to all beings in the web of life. Drawing on the work of process philosopher Charles Hartshorne - whose insights deserve a wider hearing - Carol P. Christ offers intellectual foundations for deeply held feelings about the meanings of female images of divine power. Her gift is the ability to make complex ideas seem simple and radically new ideas seem familiar. Her newest book is addressed to anyone who has ever wondered about the implications of reimagining God as female."--BOOK JACKET |
