(Heidi Schlumpf. Earthbeat).-
Elizabeth Johnson has spent her entire life — or at least her decadeslong theological career — trying to get people to think differently about God, beyond the patriarchal image of an authoritarian old man. Her award-winning 1992 book She Who Is is credited for bringing attention to the need for feminine images of the Divine.
Now Johnson is again broadening her view of God, in the hopes that it will help Christians see their connection to nature and the need to save it. Her new book, Come, Have Breakfast: Meditations on God and the Earth, explores God as a lover of the Earth who is in relationship with creation.
