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. 000425207 60010 $$aMacDonald, George,$$d1824-1905$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000425207 650_0 $$aGoddesses in literature. 000425207 650_0 $$aFemininity of God in literature. 000425207 650_0 $$aArchetype (Psychology) in literature. 000425207 650_0 $$aTheology in literature. 000425207 650_0 $$aChristian fiction$$xHistory and criticism. 000425207 650_0 $$aFantasy fiction, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000425207 650_0 $$aChristianity and literature$$zScotland$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000425207 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGaarden, Bonnie, 1953-$$tChristian goddess.$$dMadison [N.J.] : Fairleigh Dickinson University Press ; Lanham, Md. : Co-published with Rowman & Littlefield Pub.
