"several years ago, a religious mentor of mine insisted i read this book. i am glad she did. "She Who Is" is a bit dense, and slightly repetitive-- nonetheless, conceptualizing god as a woman has had a powerful impact on my spirituality."
"We read this in our theology book group - quite fascinating although difficult to understand at times. This book is a theology textbook - very thorough and full of doctorate-speak, but the concepts were easy enough to understand and interesting to discuss. I would definitely recommend it to those interested in feminist theology, or those having trouble relating to a male-depicted symbol of God."
"I read this during theology studies, though not as part of the curriculum. (I took it with me to West Virginia while doing mission work with church youth groups.) I wish I'd read it sooner. It's changed the way I think about God and the way I think about the institutional church. It helps me that Elizabeth Johnson writes from within the Catholic Christian tradition. While this book is painstakingly researched and clearly presented, it doesn't keep the subject matter academic or theoretical. A guiding premise seems to be that religion is practiced, and the topic has to relate to the practice. Johnson taps into Scripture and the tradition, but synthesizes it in a way that makes it relevant for modern believers. It's probably worth a second look, but I'm still working through the list of books I pulled from Johnson's notes.
"What is the right way to speak about God? The presenting issue in debates about inclusive language is ostensibly whether the reality of women can provide suitable metaphor for speech about God. ... More is at stake than simply naming toward God with women-identified words such as 'mother.' The symbol of God functions. Language about God in female images not only challenges the literal mindedness that has clung to male images in inherited God-talk; it not only questions their dominance in discourse about holy mystery. ... Introducing this mode of speech signals a shift, among those who use it, in their sense of the divine, a shift in total world view, in highest ideals and values."
"If women are created in the image of God, then God can be spoken of in female metaphors in as full and as limited a way as God is imaged as male ones, without talk of feminine dimensions reducing the impact of this imagery."
"Discourse about God from a perspective of women's experience, therefore, names toward a relational God who loves in freedom.""
