Women and World Religions
I probably could not have comprehended this essay on God as Trinity when I was forty. But lately reading it has been a much appreciated gift. Lash has a masterful understanding of where theology and Western culture is presently, and at the same time, a deep appreciation of tradition as a necessary condition for learning. To start over in the spiritual life as if we have nothing to gain from others' experience down the centuries seems ludicrous. We keep moving on, yes, but hopefully not from a vacuous starting point. We buy cars, we do not begin by reinventing the wheel.
In other words, I found this essay enriching, accessible, and challenging. And his references open up a
trove for further reading.
