"Waters, Rivers, Fire & Flames," Mary Hinkle,
Pilgrim Preaching:
Keeping Company with Biblical Texts and the People Who Hear and Preach Them.
| "A couple of months ago, a Christian said to me
something like, 'Everyone in this life will leave you.' It seemed to me
she was taking the death of others a little too personally ('He didn't die
just in order to leave you.'), but her passion and clarity on this point
were stunning. I imagine a similar sentiment among Isaiah's listeners.
Everyone in this life —including God—will leave you." |

| "One could expect the declaration
of guilt at the end of ch. 42 to be followed by a ‘sentence’ of judgment,
but it is not. As one writer puts it, the logic of grace takes over and
the people are told to ‘fear not’." |

"Who is
Battering Whom?" by Dr. David R. Blumenthal, Professor of Judaic Studies, Emory
University.
| "However, in a remarkable
little book entitled, Batter My Heart, Gracia
Fay Ellwood has gathered together most of the violent and abusive
passages in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. I thought I had
read them all but Ellwood showed me some new ones, as well as some
old ones in a new light. God is the abusive husband who goes through
the well-known fight-beat-reconcile cycle. God wounds, heals, and wounds again." |

|
"Notes on God's Violence," Catherine Madsen,
Cross Currents,
2001.
| "If it is exhilarating to imagine God
as a female energy, it is also exhilarating to imagine a masculine energy
that does not constrain or inhibit or bind our own energy, but sets it
free. A violence that can be met and mastered, a bad temper that can be
opposed, an unlikeness that is not a negation." |
