The definitive biography of one of the most beloved and respected
figures in American religious life. In this comprehensive
biography, Jon Sweeney, official biographer of Tickle’s literary
estate, explores every aspect of her life, a more than 50-year
legacy of poetry; plays; literary, spiritual, and
historical/theological work; and advocacy. Sweeney examines
Tickle’s personal and professional roots, from her family, long
marriage, and life on The Farm in Lucy, Tennessee, to early
academic career and move into book publishing, where her role as
founding editor of the Religion Department at Publishers Weekly
influenced the growth of spiritual writing and interfaith
understanding during the 1990s. Sweeney also looks at pivotal
relationships with John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, and Brian
McLaren, as well as her great influence on the increasing number
who adopted fixed-hour prayer, the Episcopal Church as a whole, and
the Emerging Church, for which she served as historian, forecaster,
and champion. A look at her early, passionate advocacy for the LGBT
community, lecture circuit controversies, and projects left
unfinished completes the picture.
