Awakening Desire
Author: Irene Alexander
language: en
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
Release Date: 2018-04-19
The hope of this book is that it awakens desire to know more intimately the God who breaks through our compartmentalization and naming. While most in the West have heard God's name as almost exclusively masculine, a child growing up in Israel would have experienced the Spirit of God, and Lady Wisdom, as female. This ruach, the breath of God, brooded over the face of the deep in the creation story like a hovering mother bird. The God of the Bible and the early church has been described with both masculine and feminine imagery, referred to by the church fathers and mystics as both Mother and Father. In our time we have lost much of this rich feminine imagery. This book explores not only this historical knowing of God but also more contemporary writers, such as Carl Jung, Paul Young (The Shack), George MacDonald, and Thomas Merton. Each of these men engaged with the Divine Feminine, giving us examples of how we too may find God more deeply and more intimately.
Rites of Passage, Liminality, and Community in Octavia E. Butler’s Science Fiction Novels
Author: Lin Knutson

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Release Date: 2023-03-06
Rites of Passage, Liminality, and Community in Octavia E. Butler’s Science Fiction Novels explores the ways in which Octavia Butler’s liminal protagonists undergo ritualized transformations while in exile from their home communities. During this process, they engage in psychological, physical, political, and social transitions through what Victor Turner and Makhail Bakhtin describe as carnivalesque identities. Using postcolonial, feminist, anti-capitalist, and African American theorists, Lin Knutson examines how Butler’s imagined genesis and history carry echoes of American history, slave history, debt slavery, and colonization.

Justin Mann analyzes the work of Octavia E. Butler, Colson Whitehead, Janelle Monáe, and other Black writers, musicians, and artists to show how their narratives and practices of speculation are vital tools to counter and break apart the antiblack world of the security state.
