Diving Deep and Surfacing

Odyssey with the Goddess depicts a spiritual journey from death and despair to healing and rebirth. At its deepest level, it is a story with universal resonance. But it is also a woman's story and a spiritual quest from a particular point of view. It begins with a very simple experience of despair - abandonment in a love relationship. What follows is a journey not willingly or consciously chosen. The author is present as her mother dies and glimpses the mystery of love. She is taken to Crete, a land where the Goddess once reigned in peace and harmony. There she descends into the darkness of a cave, finds the tree of life in the center of a garden, and dances to the strange rhythms of mountain goat songs. Eventually she comes to understand that life is not a goal to be achieved by effort and will. It is a dance along a serpentine path offering many gifts at every turn.

In Goddess and God in the World, leading theologians Carol P. Christ and Judith Plaskow propose a new method for thinking about theological questions: embodied theology rooted in experience and tested in dialogue. Their theological conversation begins from the premise that the transcendent, omnipotent male God of traditional theologies must be replaced with new understandings of divinity that can provide orientation and guidance as we face the social, political, and environmental challenges of our time. Situating divinity in the world and placing responsibility for the future firmly in human hands, they argue for an inclusive monotheism that affirms the unity of being through a plurality of images celebrating diversity and difference. Carol proposes that Goddess is the intelligent embodied love that is in all being, a personal presence that can inspire us to love the world more deeply. Judith counters that God is an impersonal power of creativity, the ground of being that includes both good and evil. Their probing of the autobiographical sources of their theologies combined with an intense questioning of each other s views offers both a new way of speaking about Goddess and God and a fruitful model of theological conversation across difference.
