"This book takes up the suppression of the feminine and, especially, the primacy of the feminine in Christian spirituality. In practice, the feminine does not at all hold the primacy, either in Western culture or in the religious culture of Christian churches. Nevertheless, the primacy of the feminine is intrinsic to the Christian good news, even though not always found as a practical reality."

"Only to the extent that the feminine is restored to its primacy in Christianity will Christianity find itself in good health. And only to the point that the suppression of the feminine is corrected will our Western culture recover from its many illnesses."
