"How far away is God? How different is God from human beings? In this work, Mayra Rivera's answer is that God is not within human grasp but always within human touch. Engaging liberation theology, radical orthodoxy, feminism, and postcolonialism, Rivera produces a concept of God as transcendent within - concentrating on transcendence as a relationship and using it to describe how humans can touch God." --Book Jacket.
