This work sets out to challenge those who want a more imaginative, "bigger" spirituality, freed from the straightjackets of much contemporary doctrine and ecclesiology. It is grounded on the conviction that current developments in science, psychology and the arts, far from undermining faith, have encourage a revived and radical orthodoxy. This is a book about creation, attacking the fundamentalism of both science and theology, and opening the way to a more risky but ultimately more profound and inclusive spirituality. Sara Maitland is a novelist and a feminist theologian.

Defy the commonplace and predictable! The playful spirit grows in these beautifully photographed gardens, which delight with droll humor and visual enchantment. The unusual presentation of unique landscapes bypasses ordinary horticultural know-how and conventional design principles; instead it delves into the tradition of garden wit, illusion, and trickery. Best of all, most of these concepts aren't hard to achieve, from the teasing perspective of a trompe l'oeil to a fence brightly decorated with colored bottles. More daring visions appear too, including some amazing statues and ornamentations. One garden even has a bridge with hands flung up under it from the lake below, suggesting either a person emerging--or one drowning! A joy to look at and to read. A Selection of Garden Book Club.

The ancient Greeks and Romans created the most enduring cultures known to humanity and a pantheon of gods who live on in some of the greatest myths ever told: of Athena, goddess of battle, of Dionysus, god of wine and fertility, and of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection.

A Map of the New Country: Women and Christianity

Routledge

Describes the experiences of Christian women during the past twenty years, looks at how feminism has influenced religious practice, and discusses the ordination of women

In this study the author looks at what has been happening to Christian women in general, and Christian feminists in particular, over the last 15 to 20 years. She sets their experiences in the framework of the history of the churches and reviews it in the light of events such as the Second Vatican Council, the ordination of Baptist and Episcopal women ministers in America and Britain, and the debate about the ordination of women in the Anglican Communion. She argues that the insights gained by Christian feminists put them in a unique position to prophesy to their respective churches, leading them back to the Gospel imperatives of love, justice and freedom, and that an understanding and acceptance of that role of women is crucial to the well- being of the whole Church.
