Synopsis "My cry is to all That Live: Voices of Women & Earth in the Gospels (in English)"
My Cry is to all that live is a book written with the ‘ordinary’ person in mind. By taking stories from the Gospels, drawing on scriptural and theological scholarship, iconography, and the experiences of women and Earth, Mary Burke opens for us a renewed look at some of the foundational stories of the Christian tradition.The book is suitable for all readers searching for meaningful engagement with the Gospel in the midst of a world alienated from the Christian tradition and facing enormous ecological challenges.The book brings together the author’s strong passion for Scripture, theology and iconography to open up stories from the Gospels in a fresh way.The cover of the book features Sophia – the female symbol of Wisdom – from the Old Testament, where in the Book of Proverbs, she is described as at play with God in the creation of the world. The icon itself presents her surrounded by the mythical seven days of creation, blessing and delighting in all that she sees. Thus from the very beginning of My cry is to all that live, we are aware that this is not simply a book of extraordinary beauty but an invitation to revisit the stories of women named in the Gospels and to consider their significance in the development of the Jesus tradition, especially as it touches the gifts of women in leadership in the contemporary church.
