The title on the spine reads The myth behind the sex of God.
Prologue - In the beginning. 1 The Frankenstein motif. 2 The Eleusinian mysteries. 3 The sacrifice of Isaac. 4 Wandering. 5 The feminization of Judaism in the Zohar. 6 The cult of Mary. 7 Characteristics of matriarchal religions. 8 Is God male or female?. 9 A new perspective
'A highly original exploration of the character of religion as it evolved into a dominantly patriarchal model....concludes that the dualism is more apparent than real, and whether the central deity is male or female is less important than how we relate to other beings, confront death, and find meaning in life.'
