Women and the Divine

"This book engages in a creative and critical way with the question of women, transcendence, and immanence; the authors delve into the possibilities and drawbacks in both contexts and illustrate that reality is a complex and never straightforward matter. The book is accessible to readers at many levels of scholarship and provokes at all levels. The journey into Women and the Divine is worth taking - enjoy the challenge." - Lisa Isherwood, Professor of Feminist Liberation Theologies and Head of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Winchester

"Howie and Jobling have brought into focus, through this well-edited collection, an ambitious and profoundly challenging set of questions which emerge from an explosive interdisciplinary encounter between feminist philosophy, radical theology, and critical theory. This collection will be of major importance to all those interested in the religious roots of our fragile secularity." - Ashley Tauchert, Associate Professor, Department of English, University of Exeter
