Word From The Wise Old Woman
$16.18
Anyone growing up in the 1940s and 50s was conditioned to interpret the phrase “God is like a Father” almost solely as “God is a Father!” Today we are living in a time in which the metaphors for God are expanding.
This collection of sermons, preached over a ten-year period, reveals God’s self-giving love through the metaphor of a Wise Old Woman.
For at least 25,000 years humanity worshiped feminine images of the divine. Then it all changed, and for the past 6,000 to 8,000 years virtually all mainstream religions have conceived of the divine primarily in masculine terms. We now find ourselves at another transformational time in history regarding our understanding of the divine. It is a time in which we are becoming increasingly aware that no one image, and certainly no one gender, can adequately convey the totality of the ultimate divine mystery of the universe.
