This collection of spiritual testimonies is committed to the
idea that genuine dialogue between men and women that acknowledges
the essential fully-gendered human aspect of each is the foundation
for achieving true liberation of the sexes. This study looks to the
traditions of the five major religions of the world for guidance.
Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are examined
by five women who, drawing on their own personal experiences,
individually address how the issues of justice and equality are
manifested in their respective religions, and search for teachings
within those traditions that would promote meaningful dialogue.
Of central concern to the text is the concept that both sexes
have responsibility for extracting the core lessons from their own
particular cultural and religious framework, and the inclusion of
writings by men as partners in this pursuit evidences the work's
dialogical approach. Hopeful that men and women will witness the
essential equality that is the heart of our belief systems, the
work concludes with an outline of educational methods designed to
encourage the kind of dialogue that can promote authentic
freedom.
