In Goddess and God in the World, leading theologians Carol P. Christ
and Judith Plaskow propose a new method for thinking about theological
questions: embodied theology rooted in experience and tested in
dialogue. Their theological conversation begins from the premise that
the transcendent, omnipotent male God of traditional theologies must
be replaced with new understandings of divinity that can provide
orientation and guidance as we face the social, political, and
environmental challenges of our time. Situating divinity in the world
and placing responsibility for the future firmly in human hands, they
argue for an inclusive monotheism that affirms the unity of being
through a plurality of images celebrating diversity and difference.
Carol proposes that Goddess is the intelligent embodied love that is
in all being, a personal presence that can inspire us to love the
world more deeply. Judith counters that God is an impersonal power of
creativity, the ground of being that includes both good and evil.
Their probing of the autobiographical sources of their theologies
combined with an intense questioning of each other’s views offers
both a new way of speaking about Goddess and God and a fruitful model
of theological conversation across difference.
