Placing Female Imagery of God in Christian Worship
WOMEN, RITUAL,
AND POWER
Reveals the triumphs and struggles of contemporary Christian congregations to express female imagery of God in worship.
Many Christians do not know the Bible contains female images of God… because they have never heard about them nor seen them in church. This book explains the scripture references as well as highlights contemporary Catholic and Protestant Christian congregations that successfully expand traditional understandings of God through use of female imagery in prayer and worship.
Named one of the top 100 books on contemporary women's spirituality by the CIIS Women's Spirituality program.
Presenter for the Feminist Liberation Theologians’ Network Meeting (FLTN), American Academy of Religion Conference, 2015. The Network discussed the importance of art as a method for spiritual deepening and social justice.
