Omnigender by Virginia Ramey Mollenkott  

Omnigender: A Trans-Religious Approach (2001) is available from bookstores but is "sold out" from the publisher.
New and expanded edition published in 2007.

This book bridges traditional religious doctrine and secular postmodern theory regarding gender.

The Divine Feminine  

The Divine Feminine is available from Amazon.

"A calm, well-balanced, carefully prepared book. . . . Excellent for adult Bible discussion groups, for occasional sermons, for suggesting ways of inclusive language. This book teaches and directs without antagonizing."
The Bible Today

"A persuasive book, useful for personal reflection and group discussion, and ideal for gift-giving."
Daughters of Sarah

"This is no dry erudite volume. It rubs salve in personal wounds inflicted by centuries of biblical misreading."
Sojourners

"Mollenkott was also ahead of her time in writing about environmental concerns and encouraging use of biblical images from the natural world to support caring for creation. She shows the intersection of social justice issues and the importance of gender inclusive language as a foundation to social justice and peace."
—Rev. Dr. Jann Aldredge-Clanton


"The book reflects careful research; it is written in a style that will appeal to those interested in the implications of biblical research but without the time or inclination to follow the involved discussions of biblical scholarship."
National Catholic Reporter
