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 groundbreaking dystopian novel, "Parable of the Sower," published in 1993, and its subsequent sequel, "Parable of the Talents," released in 1998. In these works, Butler delved into the consequences of a divisive "cultural war" that disproportionately affects the marginalized and the ascent of a fascistic president, who is allied with white fundamentalist Christianity, and who propagates the slogan, "Make America Great Again." However, for Butler, religion did not have to be a limiting factor. 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, as well as how her work, particularly the "Parable" and "Xenogenesis" series, provides valuable resources for healing and community building. Essays in this collection explore the role of spirituality within Butler's canon and examine the themes of confronting trauma, experiencing transformation, and embracing freedom. "God Is Change" also engages in meditative contemplation on alternative religious possibilities that envision diverse political and cultural futures, highlighting humanity's resilience and ability to thrive amidst change.
