Description
Dancing with God: A Womanist Perspective explores the divine gifts of courage and grace in the face of evil. Karen Baker-Fletcher presents an understanding of the work of the Trinity, considering the problem of crucifixion as a metaphor for unnecessary violence. Through her relational theology, Baker-Fletcher examines the empathetic omnipresence of God in the midst of suffering and the healing power of the Holy Spirit. She engages with diverse theologians to discuss the dance of the Trinity in creation and the problem of sin, evil, and suffering. This book reveals the encouraging power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of survivors of unnecessary violence. Baker-Fletcher draws on creative works to illustrate her points, including Alice Walker's The Color Purple and a journalist's account of the James Byrd, Jr. murder. Her approach offers a unique perspective on the Trinity and its relevance to understanding evil and suffering.
