Note: Elizabeth Dodson Gray is a feminist theologian and author. The work is a critique of Western patriarchal religion and its impact on the environment. The title is a deeply controversial term used by the author to describe the Earth as a marginalized entity

Blurb: “A vision of human life-from the cell to the household to the whole human society-caught up in a symbiotic dance of cosmic energy and sensual beauty, throbbed by a rhythm that is greater than our own, which births us into being and decays us into dying, yet whose gifts of life are incredibly good though mortal and fleeting.

Perhaps the limits of our finite planet are like the biblical angel with the flaming sword, ready to cast into outer darkness those unable to perceive and live within the mixed blessing of the creation.”
