“Now, perhaps nowhere as poignantly as in the omnipresent theme of Christ dying on the cross, the central image of art is no longer the celebration of nature and of life but the exaltation of pain, suffering, and death.25 For in this new reality that is now said to be the sole creation of a male God, the life-giving and…

But once we are face to face with the full import of what this past foreshadowed—what we, at our level of technological and social development, could have been and still can…
