description: One of America's most controversial and respected theologians has never backed away from tough questions. In her new book, the latest volume in the Journeys in Faith collection, Rosemary Ruether faces four of them straight-on. These are important questions that have shaped her thinking and continue to define both her personal and her Christian identity. They also challenge the nature and credibility of the Christian faith. First is the challenge of classical humanism against which biblical religion historically sets itself. The second question is that of antisemitism in Christianity. Dr. Ruether challenges Christians to face this often- unconscious bias and as what it means to proclaim Jesus as Messiah. Politics in American society is her third disputed question. The fourth question- is about sexism, and anti-feminism in the Catholic Church.
