Renate Wind has composed a well-researched and searching biography
of Dorothee Soelle (19292003), who became a true religious
provocateur and one of the most prolific and widely read
theologians of the postwar period. Born in Germany and educated at
the University of Cologne, Soelle turned from literary studies to
theology, concentrating on rethinking Christian convictions in
light of World War II and the Holocaust. A poet and activist as
well as theologian, after her arrival at Union Theological Seminary
in 1974, where she assumed the post previously held by Paul
Tillich, Soelle became a leading voice for the liberation of women
and against militarism, especially the Vietnam War. Her person,
work, travels, and the times themselves combined to make her a
pioneer and leader in the most exciting developments of the period:
political theology, feminist theology, and liberation theology.
Among her influential works were Christ the Representative (1967),
Suffering (1975), To Work and to Love (1984), Theology for Skeptics
(1994), and The Silent Cry (2001). Winds short and insightful
biography is informed by extensive interviews with Soelles friends
and family, especially her husband, Fulbert Steffensky, by use of
the familys archives, and by Winds extensive knowledge of
contemporary theology, political history, and the contemporary
church.
