Scholars of Religious Studies respond toStates of Grace "A brilliant, witty, timely book. In place of modernism (the socialist form of which is dead, the capitalist form of which is becoming ever more deadly) and of the so-called postmodernism of deconstruction (which is really hypermodernism), Charlene Spretnak offers us a
genuine postmodernism."
-Professor David Ray Griffin, author of
God and Religion in the Postmodern World "A spiritual classic."
-Dr. Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth
"An extraordinary job.... States of Grace is a rare and valuable contribution to the fields of religious
studies, spirituality, and social criticism.... This rich and complex book will make its mark over time
and emerge as a powerful beacon beyond "the deconstructive-postmodern wake."
-Professor Mary Evelyn Tucker, Teilhard Perspective
"States of Grace opens the great tree of the world's religions to the self-reflective act of cosmology.
Like the manuals of meditation found in the various religious traditions, States of Grace orients the
contemporary reader to an interior path that is simultaneously the other, namely, the cosmological
revelation of the natural world.... Classes in the study of the world's religions will find that its
specific discussions draw out features of traditions often unexplored in the texts now available."
-Professor John A. Grim, author of The Shaman
"In reading States of Grace, I feel gratitude for the intellectual sophistication steeped in feminist,
spiritual, and political practices; for a sure-footed vision that liberates one at once from the
monocentricities of modernism and the aimless decentering of mere deconstruction; and for the
narrative generosity and careful clarity of this many-graced teacher."
-Professor Catherine Keller, author of From A Broken Web
