About the author: quoting from Wikipedia, "Sallie McFague is an American feminist Christian theologian, best known for her analysis of how metaphor lies at the heart of how we may speak about God. She has applied this approach in particular to ecological issues, writing extensively on care for the earth as if it were God's 'body'." Quoting Sharon Welch of Harvard Divinity School, "The power of McFague's work is in its ability of speak to the American Protestant mainstream, challenging Christians with models of God that reflect both ecological sensitivity and concern for justice." This work includes extensive chapter notes.
