Product Description
by Ruth Ann Lonardelli (Author)
Beyond the conventional religious telling of gospel stories, the voice of the Sacred Feminine calls out for us to listen in new surprising and relevant ways. Beginning with a brief history of the roles of women in the early Jesus movement, here are overlooked yet inspiring insights into how the Sacred Feminine shows up in the old familiar stories again and again. This collection draws from archetypes and parallels in other traditions, such as Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Greek, and Pagan sources, revealing the reemergence of the wisdom principle of the divine, along with the promise of spiritual integration and planetary healing. These twenty-four gospel stories include "Reflections and Questions," making this an excellent book for group discussion, classes, and learning circles.
