Rosemary Radford Ruether
A Moral Creed for All Christians
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Maguire calls us to choose life...not just with words but with our whole heart and soul, resources and energy.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“What does it mean to transform Christian language for prayer and liturgy to really include female symbols for the divine? This is the question Jann Aldredge-Clanton asked in writing this book. To answer this question she did interviews with twelve innovative ministers from seven denominations. These interviews give compelling testimony of the transformation that happens for religious communities when language for God is really affirmed in both genders.”
Theology
“"Creating Women's Theology is an important contribution to the literature. It offers a good summary of the relation to feminism and process theology. It also delves into some basic questions about the universality of feminist approaches to theology in different religious traditions. This book will be a helpful introduction for courses in feminist theology.”
Theology
“En la Lucha brings a systematic methodological reflection to the doing of what is and must remain very much the grassroots praxis of Latinas....”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Mark Wallace offers five theological guidelines for inspiring a deep Christian ecological commitment. This book should be a basic text for Christian education classes in every parish.”
Theology
Foreword
“Raheb wishes Western Christians to understand the Palestinian Christian's reality, of which they have been deeply ignorant and whom they have injured and betrayed in that ignorance. He also grapples with how Palestinian Christians can develop a local theology that can be both truthful and helpful in mediating the conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians and among Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this provocative new book, Richard Horsley builds on his previous work to develop further his understanding of Jesus as a resistance leader to Roman imperial domination. Horsley situates this picture of Jesus against empire in the context of the ambiguity of American identity as a people who see themselves as both liberated and liberating, New Israel and the New Rome of global empire. He shows how these two identities are on a collision course post–September 11, 2001. Americans must ultimately choose between them.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“In this appealing book, Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore rescues the traditional themes of Christian theology for a positive, practical theology of children and child raising.”
Theology
“Ivone Gebara is unquestionably the most original theologian working from an ecofeminist liberation perspective from Latin America today. Her theology does not begin with absolutes from on high, but with daily life among poor women of Latin America for whom the interconnected dominations of race, class, gender, and the earth are not a theory but a concrete reality. It is from this context that Gebara reflects on the themes of theology, on epistemology, the nature of the human person, God, Jesus, and redemptive hope.”
“Metaphorical Theology is a brilliant piece of writing which will make an important contribution both to new thinking on he nature of religious language and also to the dialogue between Christianity and Feminist Theology.”
Theology
“Models of God is a very important work, well put together, clearly written and persuasive.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“With impeccably detailed scholarship, Reta Finger examines the traditions in the book of Acts about shared property and daily meals in the early Jerusalem church. She shows that this tradition represented a real commitment to a new community in Christ that cut across class divisions and extended food and support to the poorest. For Finger, those traditions are not just a historical footnote on a curious and short-lived practice at the beginning of Christianity, but are an ongoing legacy that must be taken seriously as central to living out the Christian gospel today.”
World Religions
“In his latest book Marc Ellis reflects on his own exile and religious journey as an American Jew....Ellis' vision and journey are distinctively his own....Yet his is also an exile in which a new covenant community, however impermanent, is tasted.”
Theology
“Lanzetta's Radical Wisdom is a feminist revisioning of mysticism. Going beyond both the positive and the negative paths of the mystical journey, Lanzetta proposes a 'via feminina' that can heal the deep spiritual wounds of patriarchy and transform women's inner and outer humanity in holistic relation to others — men and women, God and the cosmos.”
The Ultimate Meaningfulness of the Universe: Knowing God, Volume 2
Science & Faith
“Anthony Mansueto's new book seeks to counteract two forms of nihilism that either disconnect God from the universe or argue that the universe has no ultimate meaning. Mansueto shows that ultimate good is grounded in the universe in a way that also provides the basis for criticism of social oppression systems. This is an important venture that deserves careful evaluation and response.”
History & Biography
“This is a stimulating biography of a leading Catholic theologian and teacher who has influenced global religious thought on interfaith dialogue. . . . Swidler's intellectual journey has been a continuous development in conversation with other leading Catholic intellectuals of the last half century, and thus we also are introduced to these leading figures and their thoughts, through Leonard Swidler's life. This is a page-turner that inspirers the reader to read on to complete the journey.”
Women
“"Lively and often profound essays .. . . ['Through Her Eyes'] is an important contribution to the growing literature of third world women's theology.”
