Goddess Unmasked is the first critical evaluation by a qualified scholar of the theological, anthropological, and historical claims of the "Goddess" movement, the most influential form of radical feminist spirituality. Davis analyzes the Goddess movement and describes its place in the broader "culture wars." Carefully parsing the anthropological and historical evidence, he reveals the Goddess's roots in the radical Romanticism of the nineteenth century -- roots it shares with some of the modern world's most nightmarish movements.-- Does anyone really believe in the Goddess?-- Is Goddess spirituality a male conspiracy?-- How is Goddess spirituality affecting Christianity?
