Review Quotes

An intriguing synthesis of Goddess spirituality and process thought.

Creatively, Constance Wise discovers unexpected cogency in extraordinary religious practices. She uses process philosophy and personal narrative to unfold the richness implicit in an emerging form of American religious naturalism.

Process thought has played a role in the development of Christian feminist theology. Alongside those feminists who have undertaken to revise Christian teaching and reform Christian practice so as to end the exclusion of women, there are others who believe they can work to overcome the myriad tentacles of patriarchy more effectively from outside the deeply patriarchal Abrahamic traditions. Constance Wise has found her home in feminist Wicca. Now, like Carol Christ, Wise finds in the conceptuality developed in the process tradition a fruitful way of articulating the insights and experience of Wicca.
