 | "In silence and contemplation, we rest from all
of our human striving and division and touch the deeper current of
truth that runs underneath everything else—the truth that all things
have already been reconciled in Christ." |

and Meaning in Psalm 131," Biblica Vol. 79(1998) 180-197.
Abstract.
| "Psalm 131 displays
a subtle play on words. The psalmist has silenced and calmed down his
soul/breast (he has put an end to its loud complaints). The two verbs
used express or suggest the idea of assimilation (‘I have transformed
it into something silent and something calm’), which leads up to the
material image which follows." |

|
"Thanks, in particular, to the critical effort of the
pamphlet, The War against Women, which has managed to bring
to the surface the dominance of male language used in reference to
God, that would have largely gone unnoticed, gender consciousness in
the church has begun." |
