A comprehensive description of the transformation of Christianity, by the bestselling theologian who has defined this spiritual renaissance. The Vatican's recent disciplinary action (silencing priest/theologian Fox for one year) may increase interest in this continuation of the thinking set forth in Original Blessing ( LJ 2/1/84). Citing Meister Eckhart, among others, Fox calls for a return to mysticism (an experiential, nondualistic, "right-brain" way) and a shift in focus from the historical Jesus to a pantheistically understood "Cosmic Christ" who is continually incarnated in all creation. A New Age challenge to orthodox Christianity that makes for dense, controversial reading. EC Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Scott Peck, author of "The Road Less Travled""Fox captures...as few theologians have ever done before, the feminine aspects of God so supperessed in traditional Christianity."--Bishop John Spong, author of "Living In Sin?"
