More about the book
Exploring the intersection of religion and gender, the essays delve into the perversion of spiritual practices into patriarchal violence, particularly against women. Walker critiques the notion that religion inherently promotes goodness, presenting evidence of its moral failures and arguing that it often roots sexism. Despite these harsh realities, she concludes on a hopeful note, envisioning a revival of the original, life-affirming traditions of religion that celebrate the universe's mysteries. The collection challenges readers to reconsider the role of faith in contemporary society.
