description: Liberation Theology brings together a provocative American theologian and a battery of pressing questions. Rosemary Ruether's concern is human liberation. Her perspective is the oppressor-oppressed relationship as it applies to Christian anti-semitism, racism, sexism and colonialism. She looks to the transformation of Christianity from an ideology of the oppressors to a gospel of liberation for the oppressed, and through the oppressed, for the oppressor.Rosemary Radford Ruether is the author of several books including *The Radical Kingdom* and numerous articles. She is a contributing editor of *Christianity and Crisis*. For several years she has been professor of Historical Theology at Howard University and is the Chauncey Stillman Professor of Roman Catholic Studies, The Divinity School, Harvard University (1972-73). She is married and the mother of three children.
