Octavia E. Butler delved into the exploration, critique, and creation of religious ideology throughout her remarkable career. Her insightful perspectives on the interplay between politics and religion in America are evident in her dystopian novel, "Parable of the Sower," published in 1993, and its sequel, "Parable of the Talents," released in 1998. In these works, Butler examined the consequences of a divisive "cultural war" that disproportionately affected the marginalized and the ascent of a fascistic president, who was allied with white fundamentalist Christianity, and who propagated the slogan, "Make America Great Again." However, Butler believed that religion could be a liberating force rather than a constraining one. The editors of "God Is Change" and the contributors to this collection enhance our understanding of the breadth and depth of Butler's thoughts on spirituality and religion. They also highlight how Butler's work, particularly the "Parable" and "Xenogenesis" series, provides valuable resources for healing and community building. Essays in the book explore the role of spirituality within Butler's canon and examine the themes of confronting trauma, experiencing transformation, and embracing freedom. "God Is Change" engages in meditative contemplation on alternative religious possibilities that envision diverse political and cultural futures, illustrating humanity's resilience in navigating change and flourishing.
