Sisters of Dust, Sisters of Spirit: A Creation-Centered Womanist Spirituality

by Karen Baker-fletcher

Sisters of Dust, Sisters of Spirit: A Creation-Centered Womanist Spirituality Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Karen Baker-Fletcher here seeks to recover and renew that strong historic tie of black peoples to the land, sometimes broken by migration and urbanization. Cultivating the ecological side of black womanism, she combines a keen awareness of environmental racism with reflection on her own journey and a constructive theological vision. She works the biblical and literary metaphors of dust and spirit to address the embodiment of God, Spirit, Christ, creation, and humans and to fashion a powerful justice-oriented spirituality of creation.<P>Baker-Fletcher evinces a strong sense of God in nature, and its earnest, reflective character makes this small volume ideal for individual, adult study, or classroom use.
