Here is a theologian giving a personal history of the dimensions of her faith in God. She is a woman born in the 40s, and her concept of God was shaped to a male image. The cracking of this concept and others (crucifixon, resurrection) are wonderously related. ( ) In this book, Roberta Bondi narrates her own experience in the Church and in academia in order and reflects upon her theological beliefs. This is a provocative book. Bondi is thoughtful about the images of God which were distortions and about how sexism in the Church made it difficult for her to love God and herself. This book tells of her journey of discovery of the God of love (that she has while teaching theology). This isn't a linear tale, but a thematic inquiry where Bondi explore different spiritual themes. As such, she does return to some instances several times to reflect on it from a different angle. Whether or not you buy all of Bondi's conclusions, she is thoughtful and worth a read. Reading these honest and profound reflections on Bondi's evolving theology moved me deeply for several reasons. Her account of growing up in a similar time and place to the one I grew up in, emphasized the very different cultural expectations that were impressed upon girls and boys until quite recently. She also inspired my to reexamine my attitudes toward women and to reflect on my images and expectations of God. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
When the hearing and telling of stories captures our imaginations, we are enabled at the deepest level to take our lives seriously. By envisioning other worlds, we are rendered capable of listening to God and to ourselves, and of growing in God's image. This is how Roberta Bondi comes to tell stories in this book, stories that were formed in a life of prayer. They reflect on life's turning points and how these are made both more difficult and more open to grace by the Christian understandings of naming God as father and mother; the significance of rationality; and the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus. Bondi discovered that what she had regarded as her personal, private stories were not really so private or idiosyncratic after all when they were seen in the intersection of her beliefs, family experience, and cultural expectations. We are drawn into thelogical reflection on the stories of one woman only to discover there our own stories, our own memories, all stored in the memory of God.
