What People are Saying about Girl/Friend Theology
Girl/Friend Theology
I have used the first edition of Dori Baker’s Girl/friend Theology for many years in my God and Gender course at Luther College. It has proven to be an excellent resource to validate experience, connect with each other’s spiritual journeys, and to learn about the reality and resilience from global voices. Dori’s writing reflects her personality: intellectually engaging, ethically committed, and creatively gifted.
Wanda Deifelt, PhD, Professor or Religion at Luther College
Dori not only makes a brilliant contribution to theorizing a practice; her exquisite writing and storytelling invite the wonder the practice intends.
David F. White, Phd, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary
Faith-sharing in a world of gender fluidity, racism and climate change is beyond challenging. Fortunately, Dori Baker highlights many fonts of Womanist, feminist, and indigenous wisdom that new storytellers can access as they shape their new faiths.
