Women and Spirituality by Ursula King
This new edition accords more attention to women's voices from the third world and to the urgent ethical and environmental concerns being addressed by women. It also provides a greatly expanded bibliography and a new Epilogue.
“A timely comment on the current state of matters feminist and spiritual. . offering a strong pointer to future patterns of development.”
“An expert analysis of contemporary developments of Christian and Jewish feminist reinterpretations of sacred writings and traditions, including perceptive comment on the vexed question of the ordination of women.”
“Ursula King grasps all the dimensions of the subject, including the imaginative and creative passion that surrounds it, yet can look at it critically and with commonsense. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the considerable literature, and a useful way of summarizing it that makes it possible to gain new perspectives.”
“The book is essential reading for all who wonder whether feminism can have anything to say to religion, and for all seeking to widen traditional views by incorporating feminist insights. I think it is a marvellous book. Professor King provides a most helpful guide to the modern debate and also a positive voice of her own, calling for a change of spiritual orientation. This is an important resource for moral education in its deepest sense of an expansion of vision and understanding.”
