Embracing Jesus and the Goddess: A Radical Call for Spiritual Sanity
Description:
Carl McColman spent most of his life struggling with traditional Christianity. He loved the mystical power Jesus provided, the devotion to the least powerful, the commitment to justice. But he couldn't reconcile that with the "institutional Jesus" who counted sins and passed judgement.
After reading a book on goddess worship, or Wicca, he realized the feminine perspective was what traditional Christianity was lacking. In this riveting and inspiring book, McColman argues that Christianity lacks the feminine qualities of loving the body, sexuality, and appreciation for nature that Wicca offers. By combining the masculine traits of traditional Christianity with the earthier, more feminine traits of goddess worship, one can truly achieve balanced spirituality and connectedness to both God and Goddess.
You'll learn:
-- why traditional Christianity downplays women, even the role of Mary
-- what Wiccans can learn from the teachings of Jesus
-- how to synthesize the best elements of Christianity and Wicca to achieve a balanced spirituality of love and freedom.
Embracing Jesus and the Goddess is a provocative yet common-sense approach to a balanced religious experience.
