Book excerpt: “You’ll smile with joy turning every page.” —Barry Hannah Reverend Maloney isn’t the world’s greatest spiritual advisor. He drinks gin out of his coffee cup and has sex dreams about the Holy Ghost. His best friend Eli isn’t perfect either, but he’s a chess genius, so Maloney sees an opportunity in traveling around the country so Eli can win major chess tournament after chess tournament (while Maloney pockets Eli’s winnings). Chased by a blind headhunter named Jack Cataract, the Reverend, his girlfriend, and Eli race across North America and around New York City, from Washington Square Park to a jetski ride to the great green gown of Lady Liberty.

In the spirit of Nicholson Baker and Barry Hannah, Sophia is an adventure with a raunchy and obviously flawed cast of characters, written with enormous heart.

Download or read book Jesus Miriam s Child Sophia s Prophet written by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus: Miriam's Child, Sophia's Prophet Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza makes a unique contribution to two quite different discussions of Jesus the Christ. On the one hand, she looks at biblical christology from a critical feminist perspective in the tradition of liberation theology. On the other, she examines the feasibility of a feminine christology by considering such problems as Christian anti-Judaism, ideological justification of domination, religious exclusivism and the formation of patriarchal identity. Re-imagining the Jesus movement in a feminist key transcends the boundaries set by history, gender and doctrine. By assessing various Jesus traditions and interpretations in terms of whether they can engender liberating visions for today, Schüssler Fiorenza seeks to challenge and transform a Christianity dominated by masculinity and exclusivist theological frameworks so that it offers a vision of justice and well-being for all, the central image in which is the reign, the coming world, of God. This Cornerstones edition features a new extended introduction which takes into account the developments in the field since the work was originally published in 1994.

Download or read book Sophia written by Caitlin Matthews and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone interested in the feminine face of God throughout the ages will find Sophia an illuminating experience. Caitlin Matthews' scholarship connects us to past, present, and future in the very depths of our femininity. ----Marion Woodman, Jungian analyst and author of Bone: Dying into Life. Sophia, or "wisdom" in Greek, has been revered in many forms throughout history--from the Dark Goddess of ancient Anatolia; to her Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, and Cabalistic manifestations; to her current forms as Mary and the orthodox St. Sophia. In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Sophia sits with God until the creation. Then she falls into matter and becomes manifest in every atom, permeating all things "like the sparks that run through charcoal," as Matthews says. While God is "out there," the Goddess is "in here"-- the mother-wit of practical inspiration and compassion at the heart's core. This definitive work comprehensively establishes a realistic Goddess theology for Westerners in the twenty-first century: grounding spirituality in daily life and the natural world; learning to work playfully and play seriously; ending the gender war to enjoy sacred marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are looking for new ways to know themselves and to connect with God, two forms of knowledge that are intrinsically linked. Many have left traditional religion in frustration that it didn't reflect their real lives, turning instead to alternative spiritualities that purport to honor women's experience. In this post-feminist interpretation of Christianity, Lilian Calles Barger challenges both Christian tradition and feminist trends in spirituality to provide a fresh and inspiring look at divine wisdom, opening women's awareness to the voice of God in the world.

For some, life seems almost pointless while others live out their dreams in the most captivating or perhaps horrifying ways. Of those who learn the truth there are always some that doubt but when a revelation is shown to them, everyone falls in line to celebrate. When finally the war that everyone had expected comes, there will be discoveries of the most horrifying atrocities.

Download or read book Sophias Verlangen written by Angela Thompson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophias Verlangen Eine deutsch-deutsche amerikanische Geschichte Sophia wird sich als kleines Madchen, umgeben von Frauen, ihrer selbst bewusst. Ihre Umwelt erlebt sie von dem Augenblick an ganz unmittelbar und wird im Nachkriegsdeutschland unter sowjetischer Besatzung Zeugin von Begebenheiten, uber die niemand spricht und die ihr niemand erklart. Es ist eine unheimliche, dustere Welt, aus der sie, alle Hindernisse beiseite schiebend, ausbricht. Die Einladung ihrer Lehrerin, den Jungen Pionieren beizutreten, ignoriert sie, ohne sich um irgendwelche Konsequenzen zu kummern. Hellhorig wird sie, als sie bemerkt, dass die Jungen eine ganz andere Sprache sprechen, mit der sich die Welt fur sie von selbst offnet, die jedoch Madchen ausschliesst und in die enge Welt der Frauen verweist. Bei Freundinnen und Freunden und in der Natur erfahrt Sophia ein ihr gemasseres, freies Leben. Von der Schule und der Gesellschaft fordert sie fur sich die gleiche Bildung und die gleichen Moglichkeiten, die bis dahin nur Jungen zustanden, und lernt darauf zu bestehen, ebenso direkt angesprochen zu werden, wie diese, und nicht nur mitgemeint zu sein. Diese Erkenntnisse reifen wahrend der Gymnasialzeit in Westdeutschland, ihren Aufenthalten in England und Wales und schliesslich in Kalifornien, wo sie sich ihren Traum erfullen kann und studiert. Vom Pazifik, dem aussersten Ende der westlichen Kultur aus, begreift sie sich und ihr geteiltes Land neu und beschreitet ganz ungeahnte Wege, was ihr letztlich ein Leben in zwei Welten beschert. Sophias Verlangen ist ein Buch, das aufzeigt, welche Krafte der Wunsch nach Selbstbehauptung in Madchen und Frauen freisetzt, die genauso gelernt werden muss wie lesen und schreiben."
