Title: Voices of feminist liberation
Description: "This collection of writings features two generations of Rosemary Radford Ruethers doctoral students reflecting on her life work from multiple feminist theological perspectives. The book celebrates Ruether in her 75th birthday year as a brilliant pedagogue and as a pioneering and key founder of feminist and eco-feminist theology. Ruethers students autobiographical and critical writings illuminate her genius and groundbreaking work within multi contextual facets that testify to her far-reaching influences around the world. Their anecdotal and personal engagements with her as a mentor and teacher give the reader insights into her prophetic vision of the importance of the interaction of culture and context that play out in the dialogue of liberating subjugated voices and breaking the dominant binary paradigm of oppression. This celebratory book collects the writings of Ruethers doctoral students to draw out the influences of her teachings and works on their personal and academic investigations. It illuminates many aspects of Ruethers wide-ranging work from Liberation, Feminist, Womanist, Mujerista, Queer Theologies, Eco-Feminism, Inter-Religious Dialogue, and Social Justice in the Middle East. These works range from local contexts of resistance to global visions of ecological sustainability and international peace and justice. This volume shows the dynamic potential of Ruthers groundbreaking, prophetic thinking and pedagogy to mobilize critical theologies, social theories and cultural practices that liberate humanity from oppressive forces of colonization and patriarchy in the name of religion."--books.google.
