Mujerista Theology is a comprehensive introduction to Hispanic
feminist theology written from the heart and the convictions of
experience. Continually drawing on her Cuban roots, Isasi-Diaz
focuses on the life journeys and struggles of Hispanic women as she
develops a theology to support and empower their daily struggles
for meaning. With her own life journey always firmly connected to
the grassroots experience of Hispanic women and to the struggle for
liberation, Isasi-Diaz is a major spokesperson for the continuing
need for liberation theology today. The first part of Mujerista
Theology describes the experience of self-discovery: what it is
like to live in a foreign land as the oppressed "other". The second
part focuses on the methodology of doing mujerista theology and its
major themes: solidarity, empowerment, anthropology, encountering
God, and liturgy and rituals.
In this biography of Reformed theologian Francis Turretin
(1623-87), Nicholas A. Cumming provides critical context for the
life and theology of this important seventeenth-century theologian
and his impact on the Reformed tradition as a whole. Turretin has
commonly been identified as a strict scholastic theologian; this
work places Turretin in his broader context, analyzing his life and
theology in terms of the political and religious aspects of
post-Reformation Europe and his posthumous influence on nineteenth-
and twentieth-century Reformed theology. This work begins with a
biography of Turretin, including his education and ministry, then
proceeds to the context of Turretin's theology in the early modern
and modern periods, particularly in relation to his major work The
Institutes of Elenctic Theology.
C.S. Lewis's famous work on the nature of love divides love into
four categories: Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. The first
three are loves which come naturally to the human race. Charity,
however, the Gift-love of God, is divine in its source and
expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural
love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.
