qosI've been quietly fretting about what to get my mom for Christmas, but Amazon has just provided a rather unlikely assist: Rosemary Radford Ruether's Goddesses and the Divine Feminine: A Western Religious History.
She and my aunt have turned into real seekers over the past couple of years, and they both were whole-heartedly engaged in my "The Lamp and the Mirror" class. As many of you are already aware, Ruether is a leading feminist theologian, and this book looks like it has the potential to be a great survey of the topic, without tipping over into the myth of matriarchy.
Actually, I've just gone back and ordered another copy for my aunt. They've been having a spiritual book club together, and I think this will be great for them.
I feel so subversive!
