The Feminine Dimension of the Divine
Publisher: Westminster Press
Author: Joan Chamberlain Engelsman
Year: 1979

Description: This is a thoughtful book on the feminine in God from a psychological and historical perspective. The author examines Biblical and Hellenistic material, Sophia in the former and the goddesses in the latter. She then explains how the divine feminine was repressed in Christianity and how it has been disguised in destructive ways. She points to why it needs to be resurrected as part of the divine and how that could be done.
