The Dream of God is a diamond of a book, from the arresting cover design to the climactic and compelling final chapter entitled, The Persistence of the Dream." This multi-faceted gem by the author of The Calling of the Laity and The Authority of the Laity is by far her best work and I suspect represents the distillation of years of study, teaching and reflection

Praise from the first edition:

“This contemporary prophet has touched lives and transformed hearts through her books and talks. Many centuries before Verna Dozier, there was Amos, from the country, speaking out in the market square against the corrupt practices of merchants who ‘sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes.’ In this century we have Dozier, a black female, spreading God’s word in the nation’s capital, across the country, and outside its borders.”

"The Dream of God is a small masterpiece. . . . Her vision of the Bible is insightful and persuasive, her writing accessible and powerful."
—Marcus Borg
