Redeeming the Story
This book constructs a new understanding of redemption, rooted not in Anselmian notions of God's honor nor medieval understanding of justice, but in women's stories of struggle, hope, and enduring love.
An Unexpected Wilderness
Annual Volume #61 of the College Theology Society, exploring the relationship between Christianity and the natural world. In addition to ecological matters, the volume will also specifically address theological issues that arise from humanity's attempts to cosset and control nature--from gardens to communities to whole ecosystems. Featuring essays drawn from the CTS annual meeting in Portland, OR, this volume will be perfectly timed to express a broad range of insights and opinions on ecology at a time when ecological issues are more and more prominent in religious and social discourse.
She who Imagines
The idea and ideal of "beauty" has been used to oppress women of different ages, body types, skin color, and physical ability. The theoretical discussion of aesthetics has also been conditioned by these same dynamics of power and oppression. In She Who Imagines, a diverse set of scholars challenges the exclusion and false definitions while constructing capacious ideas that discover beauty in unexpected places. In these essays, the authors draw on a variety of arts media-painting, photography, portraiture, craftwork, poetry, and hip-hop music-thereby joining beauty to truth and, in a richly defining way, to the practice of justice. In a variety of ways all the essays link women's definitions of beauty with experiences of suffering and hence with the yearning for justice. All clearly prize resistance to degradation as an essential element of thought.
Spirit and Nature
Spirit and Nature is a collection of essays exploring how the resources of Christian spirituality can inform the practice of a more ecologically sustainable faith. Our current ecological situation calls for people of religious faith to reexamine the way they envision the practice of spirituality. As environmental ethicists have called us to reconsider the human-Earth relationship so that the planet is not seen as simply an endless supply of resources to fill human wants and needs, so these essays call us to reconsider spiritual practice as it relates to Earth's ecology. Rather than viewing spirituality as an escape from the material world, the authors describe the embodiment of the God-quest...
Turning to the Heavens and the Earth
The Earth needs our attention—the best of our intellectual, ethical, and spiritual wisdom and action. In this collection, written in honor of Elizabeth A. Johnson, scholars from the United States and around the world contribute their insights on how theology today can and must turn to the world in new ways in light of contemporary science and our ecological crisis. The essays in this collection advance theological visions for the human task of healing our destructive relationship with the earth and envision hope for our planet’s future.
