Description
The authors debate the nature of divinity, proposing a new method called embodied theology. They agree that the transcendent, omnipotent, male God of traditional theology must be reimagined. Christ proposes that Goddess is the intelligent embodied love that is in all being. Plakow counters that God is an impersonal power of creativity that includes both good and evil. Rooting their views in experience and quesitoning each other, they offer a fruitful model of theological conversation across difference.
