5.0 out of 5 starsHighly Recommended, A Must-Read for All Concerned with Justice, Peace, and Love
By Jann on April 16, 2014
Format: Paperback
Virginia Ramey Mollenkott's "The Divine Feminine" and "All We're Meant to Be," by Letha Dawson Scanzoni and Nancy Hardesty, are the two books that have had the most profound influence on my pastoral vocation that includes writing feminist theology and worship resources. "The Divine Feminine" opened my mind and imagination to female divine imagery in the Bible and to the importance of this imagery to an ethic of equality and justice in human relationships. I have referred often to this book in my writing on expanding images of the Divine. "The Divine Feminine" provides concise, accessible, convincing biblical support for including female names and imagery for the Divine in worship. Mollenkott makes clear that this female divine language and imagery are vital to social justice and peace: "Whereas many religious leaders lament their inability to do more to alleviate world hunger, the nuclear threat, and other economic and racial inequities, their own language is something they could control almost immediately. By recognizing the female presence in their grammatical choices, and by utilizing biblical references to God as female, they could demonstrate the sincerity of their commitment to human justice, peace, and love." Mollenkott not only sounds this challenge to religious leaders but also discusses plenty of biblical female references to use: Dame Wisdom, Woman giving birth, nursing Mother, Midwife, Shekinah, Female Pelican, Mother Bear, Female Homemaker, Female Beloved, Ezer, Bakerwoman, Mother Eagle, Mother Hen, Dame Wisdom, God-in-Naomi. The Divine Feminine concludes with helpful suggestions for implementing gender inclusive language in worship and with a challenge to use the "full range of biblical imagery for God.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsEnlightening
By Evan S. Cutshaw on June 28, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This was the first book I read on this subject! I found it in my university library and sat down to read it straight through before leaving! I truly loved reading this book and appreciate the author opening me up to seeing God as both Maternal and Paternal. I know this book will have a permanent spot on my shelf for spiritual inspiration!

3.0 out of 5 starsthought is was a different book...
By Laura M on June 22, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I ordered this thinking it was a book I read in college that talked about the different biblical images of the divine feminine. This book does that, but with so many quotes form other books, it becomes cumbersome.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Classic!
By Professor K on June 15, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was overjoyed to see that this classic work is now back in print and available to a wider range of readers--many of whom have been born since it was originally published. Mollenkott's pioneering study was comprehensive in its time, and still offers insights that will benefit readers interested in learning about gendered biases in the Judeo-Christian tradition. It is an accessible introduction for readers new to this area of study, and should be on the "must read" list of all scholars interested in the historiography of Biblical feminism.
