The Goddess Revival is a Christianity Today Book Award Winner, 1996. All of the authors are clearly sympathetic to the problems women have faced in the church throughout its history. They empathize with women who shun the patriarchal oppression of their churches to turn to goddess spirituality. They are also solidly grounded in the Scriptures, Christian theology and church history. They recognize the bondage imposed by goddess worship. This book presents a scholarly and clear consideration of the issues involved and builds a strong case for Christianity as the most woman-friendly alternative. While providing a comprehensive study of goddess spirituality and examining the roots of the movement, the authors focus primarily on God and the way people have understood God through the centuries--in both paganism and the Judeo-Christian tradition--as both male and female. They demonstrate how the uniqueness of God contrasts with the multiplicity of gods and goddesses in pagan spiritualities, while comparing the values in both traditions that are similar (that is, a search for what is good, inner empowerment, unity, positive social change). In the process of building a clear Christian theology, they gently counter the arguments of their pagan opponents. In the end, the reader is left with a glorious picture of the one true God and a clear apologetic for those in nursing who insist that the Christian God is too oppressive and patriarchal to merit our allegience. The appendixes provide a powerful case study of a young woman drawn into witchcraft. She explains why it appealed to her, then how it enslaved her and destroyed her marriage and other relationships. . . The two final appendixes offer some excellent biblical studies on the issues raised in the book. The total package provides an outstanding resource -- Journal of Christian Nursing

Drawing on the insights of ecology, feminism, and socialism, ecofeminism's basic premise is that the ideology that authorizes oppression based on race, class, gender, sexuality, physical abilities, and species is the same ideology that sanctions the oppression of nature. In this collection of essays, feminist scholars and activists discuss the relationships among human begins, the natural environment, and nonhuman animals. They reject the nature/culture dualism of patriarchal thought and locate animals and humans within nature. The goal of these twelve articles is to contribute to the evolving dialogue among feminists, ecofeminists, animal liberationists, deep ecologists, and social ecologists in an effort to create a sustainable lifestyle for all inhabitants of the earth. Among the issues addressed are the conflicts between Green politics and ecofeminism, various applications of ecofeminist theory, the relationship of animal liberation to ecofeminism, harmful implications of the romanticized woman-nature association in Western culture, and cultural limitations of ecofeminism. In the series Ethics and Action, edited by Tom Regan.
JEALOUS will cause you to come away from the Christian norm and allow God to position you in a place of victory over the world's darkest enemy. Do you ever wonder what is happening to our world when you see the latest breaking story? People seem so much more hostile, with no regard for others. Crimes against humanity are growing more vicious by the day. Spiritual darkness is growing bolder and bolder. We can no longer ignore it. Many Christians believe that learning about the dark roots of society will only fuel the devil's agenda. This book challenges that belief. Your eyes will open to an obscure dark power that is affecting people we know ....Moses despised it as Hathor.Solomon lifted it up as Ashtoreth.Paul confronted it as Artemis.Josiah defiled it as Asherah.Jeremiah exposed it as the Queen of Heaven. Morphing into a multitude of desirable idols through time, the queen of heaven exists onlyto carry out the devil's sole desire - to destroy the human race. She is on our doorstep, affecting our world today. No other book contains a full exposition of the queen of heaven based on a solid biblical foundation. God's name, JEALOUS, was first proclaimed in the aftermath of Israel's blatant worship of the queen of heaven. Ever since then, people have worshiped the One True God right alongside the queen of heaven, often times without knowing it. JEALOUS will arm you with:being able to recognize the queen of heaven's commanding influence the entertainment industry, popular literature, long-respected world institutions, and even in major religions. a clearer understanding of many difficult Scripture passages and most importantly - a passion to love others caught in the destructive lifestyles that the queen of heaven promotes Join Kelly as she shares personal stories that will entice you into an intimate desire to purify your own worship to the One True God.

"Most evangelical discussion of the gender issue has been spent in feverish debate over the exegetical intricacies of the traditional prooftexts," writes Rebecca Merrill Groothuis. And though faithful exegesis is certainly crucial, a "myopic fixation on a handful of controversial biblical texts will not ultimately resolve the gender debate." In Good News for Women, Groothuis looks at the Big Picture, the overall outline of biblical teaching on relationships between men and women. This provides the foundation for examining the passages specifically relating to gender issues. Written with the razor-sharp insight that prompted critical acclaim for Groothuis' first book, Good News for Women shows that: • the broad sweep of biblical thought aligns more readily with gender equality than gender hierarchy • traditionalist prooftexts do not present an open and shut case in favor of universal male authority • the traditionalist agenda on gender issues is neither helpful nor healthy for Christian women today
