"This personal account of one woman's struggle to find her place within the religious tradition of her ancestors brings her to greater understanding and peace. It may spur others to undertake similar rigors of study, exchange of views, and personal commitment."--Theresa Schumacher, OSB. President of the American Benedictine Academy
"Here is the saga of a woman who has separated out the part of religious belief that is patriarchal, exclusive and destructive of the human spirit. Rigid, time-bound dogmas and Christianity's deliberate separation from the great world religions are even more serious, in Clancy's view, than the on-going oppression and exclusion of women from orthodox religious spheres.
Her exploration of early Christian biblical and non-biblical sources demonstrates new understandings and fresh interpretations of Jesus and of Christianity. Readers may find them at once intriguing, disturbing, exciting but always engaging. In Clancy s words, 'Imagine the force for global harmony that Christians could become if we had the largeness of heart to surrender our exclusive claims.'
This is a needed contribution to the conversation about Jesus and Christianity as well as the pressing questions of today's inter-religious dialogue."--Christian Morris, OSB. Adjunct Assistant Professor of Theology, College of St. Benedict
