“In Who Told You That You Were Naked, Rev. Dr. Beverly Dale makes radically important moves. She refuses the binaries which are the result of a dominant, distorted, colonized, and colonizing Christianity. Mind, body, and spirit are inextricably woven and celebrated for the bodacious, sacred, healing gift they are. Liberated and embodied theology and biblical interpretation are seamlessly connected to spiritual reflection and practice. Truthtelling about violence and abuse is knitted with healing practices which claim desire and pleasure. And all of it is done in the name of the Creating, Incarnated, Breathing God of healing, justice, and love. I can't wait to share this with my parishioners, students, and colleagues.”

– Rev. Dr. Rebecca Voelkel, Pastor for Justice Ministries and Director of the Center for Sustainable Justice at Lyndale UCC; author of Carnal Knowledge of God.



"I find it truly baffling that the religious faith that teaches God became flesh has such a difficult time with the flesh!”

—Reverend Beverly Dale
