What are you reading at the moment?

Women will be forever strangers unless their words and their voices revise the social and symbolic rules of language, transforming the law or ordered hierarchy in language, in subjectivity and in politics into a grace of rich plenitude for human flourishing.

Readers of my blog will know that I am reading Grace Jantzen's Becoming Divine at the moment. The above quote is one of two she uses to begin her chapter on trustworthy community. The first quote come from Julian of Norwich. The thing I am beginning to really appreciate abotu Jantzen's writing is how she weaves together insights from mysticism with radical theology. Her push in this book and her subsequent writing is to encourage a philosophy of religion that concentrates much more on our natality than on our mortality.
What I am finding particularly moving reading this is that a woman who is now dead is calling me to live as a natal and not as a mortal. It's difficult for me to put in words how inspiring, comforting and encouraging I find this. A real call to live life in a different way from beyond the grave.
Reading what Grace has written has made me realise how powerful a symbol each one of we women in ministries is. Remember everytime you do what it is you are called to do you are in some way giving birth to a new future.
Anyway what are all of you reading - as you can perhaps tell I have almost run out of crime fiction which is why I've had to turn to philosophy of religion instead!
