Dorothee Soelle - Mystic and Rebel

History & Biography

“Through engaging the horrors of war, Christian anti-Semitism, and the depths of other suffering caused by human injustice, Dorothee Soelle (1929-2003) developed a deep theo-poetics as she lived. Wind tells of her very particular struggles and joys—of belonging and identity, Christian faith and reason, politics and prayer, the personal and the public. A most welcome biography of this fascinating and pre-eminent political theologian and eco-peace activist.”

Making Love Just

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“"Making Love Just is an eloquent and comprehensive guide to doing liberative sexual ethics for human and planetary good. While Ellison finds the Christian tradition is in many respects a noble tradition to preserve and promote, when it comes to the dynamic processes of sex and sexuality over time, he pursues its spirited critique and transformation. In solidarity with the sexually abused, exploited and vulnerable, he raises astute moral questions and demonstrates the difficult process of discerning what is just and loving in sex, gender and family issues—and to delight in taking a stand with others on controversial matters of sexual justice.”

The Church as Salt and Light

Theology

“Rooted in the conditions and vibrant imagination of African Christians, this collection explores a new ecclesiology for bringing abundant life among the suffering African people. At once prophetic, pastoral, and personal, this rich tapestry weaves sub-Saharan African struggles, wisdom, and tradition as strong and integral threads into the tradition of the universal (Catholic) church. This book of highly relevant theology, courage, and vision also invites ecumenical solidarity for compassionate justice and peace.”
