Title: Compelling knowledge
First published: 1997
Description: Few feminist philosophers would expect to find a resonant dialogue partner in the sixteenth-century theologian and reformer Martin Luther. This book contends, however, that Luther's theology of the cross provides a solid theological and ethical basis for a surprisingly congenial conversation. The "epistemology of the cross" that emerges raises and responds to the essential epistemological questions of power, experience, objectivity, and accountability.

Solberg describes the movement from lived experience to "compelling knowledge": seeing what is the case, recognizing one's implication in it, and responding accountably.
