Living on the Other Side: Sacred Bewilderment, Holy Rage, and a Freedom Beyond Forgiveness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385229147)

Living on the Other Side recounts and aims to redress the unspoken, largely unconscious abandonment of the Feminine in ecclesial and academic settings through an economic trinity of voices: a feminist with a forgiveness problem; a conscious feminine theologian serving in academic and ecclesial environments (un)consciously hostile to the Feminine; and a preacher's wife, coming to voice about the realities of congregational Christianity held redemptively in covenantal love. Fruit of decades in theological education, these pages demonstrate the necessity of sacred bewilderment for deepening spiritual maturity, the purposes of rage becoming holy when able to acknowledge its limitation, and an unexpected freedom that arises when forgiveness finds us in faith renewed in the Body of Humanity. Current and prospective students in theology and religion, seasoned pastors, and willing congregations will find a compelling narrative and theological sense-making of one woman's life in the Spirit, disrupted so to become regrounded in a renewed and renewing trinitarianism arising out of historic Christian traditions.
