Über diesen Titel

Críticas

In this lucid, transformative, liberating, and beautifully written theology of sexuality, Tess Tessier provides us with a vision of our sexual lives that will lead us to greater courage, honesty, healing, and wholemaking loving. -Rita Nakashima Brock, director, The Bunting Institute, Radcliffe College

"Undulating with sex and spirit, Tessier's text releases the suffering, repressed and ultimately healing energies of women's most disqualified eros. . . . An original, accessible and indispensable discourse of the wild." -Catherine Keller, author of From a Broken Web and Apocalypse Now and Then

"In this intriguing volume, Tessier brings both her academic background in philosophy and religion as well as her poet's soul to bear on important issues of sexuality and spirituality." -Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor

Feminist Reflections on Sex, Denial, and Spiritual Healing

"Tess" Tessier explores the painful consequences of the separation of sexuality and spirituality in both Western and Eastern religions. She draws on the experiences of lesbians, HIV-positive women, women sexually abused as children, and her own life, to show how women can channel "the wildness within" toward healing and growth.
