The Female Experience and the Nature of the Divine

Fascinating & well written. Good scholarship but it's *not* dry reading, it's very interesting. The first half of the book focuses on pre-Christianity, and the second half on the Christian era. This study goes deeper than a wishful look back at goddess religions. I had it recommended to me by a history professor, he said it was excellent. He was right. It turned out to be great, and I should have bought a copy before it went out of print! It's one of the best studies of it's kind.
