In this book, Carol P. Christ combines personal experience with historical and philosophical reflections to create a new model of embodied thinking. This first systematic thealogy of the Goddess argues that the shift from God to Goddess signals a transformation of Western theology, philosophy, and ethics, offering the hope that we can create a different world.

"Carol Christ articulates clear reasons for regarding the Goddess movement as an important strand of contemporary religious activity, and she has convinced me that contemporary theologians of all persuasions would benefit from reflecting seriously on the implications of her sort of thealogy."
~Gordon S. Kauffman
