We are all born inside a fence. Not the same fence, but we all have our own variation of restrictions-passed-down-to-us. The narrative passed down to Christian women by patriarchal religion tells us not only that we are bad, but that we need someone outside ourselves to save us. We need a revolutionary new spirituality, and a revolutionary term to describe it: the queendom of God. Telling the stories of some of the strongest women in all of Scripture--like Delilah, Deborah, and Jael--as well as some of the most brutalized--like the daughter of Jephthah--Thy Queendom Come offers a new path forward. In the queendom of God, we are no longer waiting on a rescuer. We realize we are ready to conceive and give birth to new life--a creative act between God and us, no masculine authority necessary. We can, as women, say yes to the divine annunciation, quite apart from any sinner' s prayer, the blessing of priests, or an ordination by men. We can leave the narrow kingdom behind and embrace a more vibrant, just, and inspiring spiritual life in God' s queendom.
"Kyndall Rothaus tells stories of the truth, power, courage, and grit of the women we so often have ignored because of the ways the dominant system works. These often-forgotten women of the Bible help us more clearly see the need for stories that make a profound break with the dominant system, the kind of spirituality that stewards the logic of liberation. " --Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, founder of the Activist Theology project and author of Activist Theology"Honest and liberating, Thy Queendom Come invites us to be citizens in a land like no other. Smashing the patriarchy has never been more life-giving. " --Karoline M. Lewis, author of She: Five Keys to Unlock the Power of Women in Ministry"Honest. Open. Probing. Embracing: This book offers HOPE for the queendom. " --Phyllis Trible, author of God and the Rhetoric of Sexuality, and Texts of Terror"Rothaus skillfully reinvigorates the voices and counter-narratives of women in biblical text and urges us to explore a new way of being within ourselves and in the world--one that centralizes healing, truth, and awake-ness for both the silenced and the silencer. " --Dr. Katie Lauve-Moon, author of Preacher Woman and assistant professor at Texas Christian University"Rothaus offers a healing balm to our wounds of patriarchy, replacing our pain with power. Thy Queendom Come will leave you with chills, the hair on your arms standing on end. " --Rev. Aurelia Davila Pratt, lead pastor and a founder of Peace of Christ Church and cohost of the Nuance Tea podcast"If Christianity is to be transformed, this is a way forward. " --Carol P. Christ, author of Goddess and God in the World and leader of Goddess Pilgrimage to Crete
