Each of the 30 essays here delves into a topic that gives us much food for thought: the Bible as interpreted through ancient Near-Eastern creation myths, flood myths and goddess myths: gender in the Bible: the feminist approach to Jewish law: comparative Jewish and Christian perspectives on the Hebrew Bible: biblical perspectives on ecology: creating a theology of healing: feminine God-talk. The volume concludes with the author’s own original prayers in the form of poetic meditations on pregnancy and birthing.
