4.0

Sara Maitland is one of my favorite feminist, religious writers. Not that I read many of them. But Maitland has always stretched my brain in good, good ways. This book was no exception.

Maitland has been trying to get her readers to look at both science and religion as worthy of creation by our God. She says she is looking for evidence of God, not for God. I feel that this is a wonderful continuation of her argument in A Big Enough God.

What I especially like is Maitland's emphasis on joy. We could all use more joy and I think God believes in and loves joy.

I know I will need to read this book again. There is so much in it.
