{"product_id":"9781451407624","title":"Rediscovering Friendship","description":"\"Friendship is a broad sphere which unites heaven and earth. . . .\"    \u003cp\u003eLess beholden to traditional models of family and to classical male ideals, a new generation is re-evaluating and transforming friendship, says Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eObserving this phenomenon, particularly among women, she elaborates its biblical affinities and its potential for enriching an often-friendless culture. In an honest and meditative style, Moltmann-Wendel finds in friendship new dimensions of adventure, consolation, self-knowledge, love, and political relevance, as well as profound resonances with Jesus' friendships with women, especially Mary Magdalene, and with his friends at the Last Supper. Further exploring this territory beyond \"the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man,\" she points to untapped energies of tenderness, eros, and healing in women's friendships and the promise they hold for reframing our relationship with our bodies, the earth, and God. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel is a theologian and journalist and author of \u003ci\u003eFreedom, Equality and Sisterhood\u003c\/i\u003e (1978), \u003ci\u003eThe Women around Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e (1982), \u003ci\u003eA Land Flowing with Milk and Honey\u003c\/i\u003e (1986), and \u003ci\u003eI Am My Body\u003c\/i\u003e (1995).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augsburg Fortress, Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134800281840,"sku":"9781451407624","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451407624_p0.jpg?v=1763836367","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451407624","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
