- "It is only relatively recently that the subject of sexist (or 'exclusive') liturgical language has attracted much attention in Britain. Following the 'inclusive' language revisions which took place in Canada, the USA and elsewhere during the 1970s and early 1980s, the main Christian denominations in Britain are looking afresh at their liturgical and theological language. This Study marks an attempt to raise some of the profound liturgical and theological questions inherent in revising modern Anglican liturgy in Britain today." -- Intro. p. [2].

- "Combining doxological, Christian, and feminist concerns, Gail Ramshaw [a Lutheran laywoman] examines each of the primary types of Christian language about God and in the process, evaluates gender issues and proposes helpful guidelines and solutions. Many questions are involved in this issue. Can masculine pronouns for God be retained on the basis of biblical usage ? Can Trinitarian language be gender-inclusive ? What should be the Christian understanding of the divine name of God (YHWH) in the Old Testament ? What are the possibilities and what are the hazards of using human images ('judge', 'shepherd', 'father', 'mother', 'Sophia') for God ? Is all human language -- and possibly all human thought -- necessarily metaphorical ?" -- back cover.

- "The presupposition of this book is bold .... By training and by personal inclination and conviction I am persuaded that the liturgical movement, at its best, has the potential for reforming the church of our day as dramatically as did the reformation of earlier centuries. I am convinced that such reformation is badly needed and will bear much fruit. On the other hand, I am always aware of the oppression of women in a patriarchal church and society. I am always aware that the world is not safe for women. Women are abused, achieve too little, and die too young. I am also aware of the church's complicity in that suffering and I am always appalled by the needlessness of it. I am convinced that the feminist movement is causing a change of profound significance for the church's future. I am further convinced that to enable that movement is to hasten the church's healing and the healing of the church's witness to the world". -- Intro., pp. 9-10.

- "Those who know me as a hymn writer will here meet a male theologian struggling with an issue he can't avoid facing in his life, ministry, and writing. The themes in this book are not the only things that pull and push me: I try to serve the church with hymns expressing the full range of Christian faith-experience. But male dominance and male imaging of God have become for me issues of faith and justice, challenging me at a profound level of personal identity. I want to share my concerns, respond creatively to the creativity of Christian feminists, and explore ways forward". -- Preface.

This latest edition of the pioneering study provides valuable guidelines for redesigning the language of worship to bring maximum meaning to as many people as possible. It includes a new chapter on what theology and psychology tell us about the power of language to shackle or free us; fresh examples of appropriate prayers, hymns, affirmations, and responses; and a new section on alternatives to often-used liturgical texts". -- back cover.
