Delores Williams's Sisters in the Wilderness: The Challenge of Womanist God-Talk, Orbis Books, 1993, is a scholarly theological study. Its strength is that it is a foundational text of womanist theology, developing its argument through a close reading of the biblical figure of Hagar alongside the lived experience of Black women. Its limit is the ordinary one for a foundational work in a still developing theological field: it stakes out one influential position within womanist theology, not the whole of the conversation that has grown from it.
