In this book, the author imaginatively ponders the sea change which is slowly taking place in our traditional Western notion of deity. The idea of God as "a supernatural personal agent, a transcendent consciousness who acts independently of human perceptions and projects" is being eclipsed by a feminist conception of Goddess as "a relation enacted by human beings." This enactment model embraces all dimensions of human activity, is amenable to modern science, has an ethical vitality, and emphasizes rituals which grow out of everyday life. Although there is no institution to carry forward this transformation of American religion as Grigg calls it, feminist theologians and practitioners have come up with a spirituality that may well offer our traditional Western notion of God a new lease on life. This is a thought-provoking theological work which demands a wide readership.
