Title: The Magdalene Moment
Description: "In The Magdalene Moment, Joanna Manning - an ex-nun and one of the most recognized and persistent critics of the Christian Right - calls passionately upon her fellow Christians to deal with the tectonic shifts in politics, culture and economics that are reshaping our world. Drawing on Mary Magdalene as an inspirational model of "justice from the heart," she calls for the reinstatement of women in religious leadership, for the integration of the erotic and sensual into the spiritual, and for the acceptance of sexual diversity. She demands the reconciliation of Creation with the empirical truths revealed by the cosmology of our time, and she maps out a Magdalene vision for an equitable social and economic order, which incorporates respect for religious pluralism."--Jacket.
