Overview

Provoking God is argued from an intersectional feminist perspective. The book assesses and analyzes the framework for how we can move into a space where we can prod God to act in terms of social justice and communal action. This is achieved though close reading of the Hebrew Bible such as the stories of Hagar and Hannah. Additionally, scholarship across disciplines is referenced to pinpoint how a more synthesized rhythm of understanding God can lead us to reconciling historical God-reference with future and goal oriented God-reference that is holistic and in parity with biblical and societal law. The intended reader is both the casual reader interested in social justice as well as the biblical scholar interested in how these issues coalesce historically, critically, and towards praxis of unity. I have kept the language and subject accessible, yet diligent towards an academic focus. The work combs through scholarship to invites discussions on institutionalized patriarchy and God's place and contribution towards that reality and reifies an arc towards a celebrated place where we can find presence of mind and social peace. There are nine chapters in addition to an introduction, which is close to a chapter in length.
