Menopause is a dramatic but largely overlooked developmental window to the second half of life. Although today''s women are more aware of and actively involved in mapping their menopausal journey than generations before, many still do not see menopause as a time of important psychological and spiritual transformation. This book goes far beyond hot flashes and gets to the very heart of the midlife journey, helping women find their unique voice and speak their truth in an era of #MeToo and #ChurchToo. Coming alongside readers as a wise spiritual guide, pastor and theologian Cheryl Bridges Johns identifies seven key developmental "tasks" of menopause and gives practical ways women can embrace each one. She encourages women to view these tasks as gifts as they experience the remarkable physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that occurs in this stage of life.Written in a warm and conversational tone, this book helps women chart a course for the future, leading them to a renewed sense of identity, a more focused vision for life, and a deeper spirituality. Each chapter includes guided questions for personal reflection and study questions for group discussion.

In an age when the Bible has been stripped of its sacredness and functional biblical illiteracy reigns, this book makes the case that we must work to re-enchant the text in order to return the Bible to its rightful place in the lives of Christians.Cheryl Bridges Johns explains how the Enlightenment''s turn to the rational human subject made it possible to objectify the Bible and has distorted our interpretations of Scripture. This move generated a belief that studying the Bible was primarily a means of supporting facts and providing evidence of competing visions of reality. This "modern" version of the Bible does not trouble our nights with apocalyptic images. It has been stripped of its power. She also shows that both "liberal" and "fundamentalist" interpretation are failed forms of disenchanted readings.Johns argues that we must rediscover the Bible as a sacred, dangerous, mysterious, and presence-filled wonderland to counteract biblical illiteracy in an increasingly post-Christian landscape.

The Pentecostal movement has been subject to some negative external assumptions. In this enlightening and challenging book, Cheryl Bridges Johns argues that, in fact, Pentecostals employ a powerful process of formation of catechesis, which has enabled millions of believers to own and articulate the Christian story. She engages dialectically with the work of Paulo Freire, a specialist in education among the marginalized. As well as looking more broadly at the nature of all catechesis, there is also an attempt to move beyond the rationalism found in a praxis epistemology.

Grieving, Brooding, and Transforming: The Spirit, The Bible, and Gender is a collection of scholarly essays by Pentecostal women. It explores troubling biblical texts, as well as those of contemporary church life, in regards to the portrayal of women. The authors seek to identify the presence and work of the Spirit that is often hidden within the contours of these texts. A Pentecostal feminist hermeneutic desires to move beyond suspicion into the deeper terrain of the Spirit’s mission of grieving, brooding, and transforming a broken world. The essays point to the purposes of God toward justice and the healing of creation.

I en tid då Bibeln förefaller ha berövats sin kraft och en allt större bibelanalfabetism sprider sig i det postkristna landskapet, argumenterar Cheryl Bridges Johns för behovet av en ”återförtrollning” av bibeltexten: Den behöver återupptäckas som helig, farlig och gåtfull, som en text som låter läsaren träda in i en annorlunda och förunderlig värld fylld av Treenighetens närvaro.
Författaren beskriver hur upplysningstidens fokus på det rationella mänskliga subjektet gjorde det möjligt att objektifiera inte bara naturens värld utan även Bibeln och hur det senare har förvrängt läsningen av den. Denna utveckling skapade uppfattningen att studiet av Bibeln främst handlar om att gå bakom texten och försöka få fram vad den ”verkligen” säger, eller att vaska fram tidlösa sanningar, eller att få ett vapen i kulturkrigens skugga. Denna ”moderna” version av Bibeln, hävdar hon, bryter inte in i vår välstädade tillvaro. Den utmanar inte våra omhuldade värderingar. Den väcker inte vår förundran. Den föder inte hopp.
Utifrån sitt rika pentekostala arv menar Johns att kyrkan och de kristna bortom både fundamentalismens och liberalteologins misslyckade läsningar av Bibeln, återigen behöver dras in i det rum där Anden och Ordet i harmoni fyller texten med helighet och mysterium. Det är först då som Bibeln kan återfå sin rättmätiga plats som den heliga Skrift som inte låter sig tämjas, utan i stället blir en kraft som rubbar våra cirklar och öppnar upp nya horisonter.
Cheryl Bridges Johns är pastor och teolog och har undervisat på högskolor och seminarier i över fyrtio år. Hon är gästprofessor och direktor för Pentecostal House of Studies vid United Theological Seminary, USA.
