Journey to the Father: New Perspectives on Gender and the Bahá’í Faith
Description
An essay that recounts a spiritual exploration, written as a Letter to God, as the author wrestled with the question: "Why are you called He?” A personal journey as well as as philosophical reflection on gender equity and faith, this essay is written with depth and profundity of insight.
"Coming from a North American background and having embraced the Baha'i Faith as an adult, Ms. Vanderwagen encountered certain difficulties in reconciling the Baha'i principle of gender equality with what she experienced as the "male face" of the history of the Baha'i Revelation. Her meditations on this question led her to a number of insights which, in my opinion, should be shared as widely as possible." --William Hatcher
