G. Howie & Kenneth A. Loparo 
Women and the Divine 
Touching Transcendence

This collection explores the question of whether it is possible to re-concieve the catagory of trancendence from a feminist perspective. The contributors use the concept of transcendence to approach questions relating to the body, desire, and subjectivity, while offering a response to secular relativism.
