God in Feminine: Towards a non-sexist reading of the Bible
"This is a free book. Free from ancestral prejudices. Free from the chains of heteropatriarchy. Free from the racket of the male god-yes, in lowercase-that has caused so much harm to all of us. And I say to all of us because those who do not notice it either cannot-or will not-open their eyes and face reality: From religions-and within them-the intrinsic value of women has been scorned. By action and/or omission, they have been relegated to the role of servants rather than servants of God. They have been blamed for provoking their male brothers into the sin of lust by the way they dress-as if a lustful man needed provocation to be so. They have been reduced to silence and ostracism, forced to listen and not to speak, compelled to create peer groups to find a vital space, oxygen to breathe. They have been supervised as if they were immature beings in need of male guidance. Today, things have improved somewhat for them, and if this book is given the importance it deserves, they will improve even more. This is a book about feminine spirituality and women, but it is also addressed-and perhaps especially-to men who still fail to recognize their potential. How much they are missing. How much talent wasted. How many paths left unexplored by always gazing at their masculine navel. How much skill, how much intuition, how much emotional intelligence they have thrown overboard by not valuing them as they deserve... But there is hope; they can still be redeemed. I have always been a compulsive optimist." (From the "prolo-co" written by Juan Ram n Junqueras Vitas)
