      abstract = {The Christian Goddess: Archetype and Theology in the  Fantasies of George MacDonald examines the British  Victorian writer's employment of female figures to  represent Deity. Such symbolism is extremely unusual for a  Christian author of this period andanticipates the efforts  of many modern theologians to develop an image of God as  Mother. Bonnie Gaarden reads the goddess-figures in  MacDonald's fantasies as both archetypes of the collective  unconscious and as emblems articulating MacDonald's unique  Christian theology, which is Trinitarian, Neo-Platonic,  mystical, and universalist.},
