A careful yet provocative examination of how Americans may keep the traditional Western idea of God alive by embracing the Goddess of feminist theology. "Complex and erudite". -- Library Journal
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Grigg (theology, Sacred Heart Univ.) agrees with those who argue that the traditional concept of God is inadequate for postmodern Western society. If even the essence of the traditional Western concept of God is to survive, it must be wholly transformed in a way acceptable to postmodern consciousness. Grigg proposes the enactment theology suggested by some feminist theologies as a possible model for this transformation. Such a model conceives God "as a relation that is enacted by human beings, in conjunction with nature and the power of being," rather than relying on the traditonal concept of God as a supernatural personal agent. Grigg's philosophical argument is complex and erudite. His treatise is for philosophers and theologians and appropriate for libraries with strengths in philosophy of religion and feminist theology.?Linda V. Carlisle, Southern Illinois Univ., Edwardsville
