In Reflecting Shekinah: Feminine Images of the Divine and Women's Sense of Self, Barbara Wieler reflects on the nature and significance of the relationship between feminine images of the Divine and the sense of self for women from the Mennonite tradition.
Barbara Wieler approaches this question by interviewing six women with varied backgrounds and connections to the Mennonite church. Their discussions cover a number of topics, all revolving around the impact of imaging and experiencing the Divine as female as opposed to exclusively male on their relationships with themselves and others. Parenting, intimacy, and faith are just some of the areas explored, and the author derives implications not only for the women but also the church, counsellors, and feminist theory overall.
Through her methodology, Ms. Wieler presents her research in a personal and accessible way, and her strength as a communicator makes this book a valuable read for academics and laypeople alike.
