'This Festschrift by former students, friends and colleagues
celebrates the many rich aspects of Ann Loades' wide-ranging
contributions to the life of the academy, the church and the wider
community. Readers are invited into a graceful dance of dialogical
reflections on the multi-faceted perspectives and experiences of
the Christian tradition. This illuminating collection of essays
covers a wide variety of contemporary concerns in theology,
spirituality and ethics at both an intellectual and practical
level. A treasure trove of insights and ideas, it is a fitting
tribute to a career of remarkable achievements.' Ursula King,
Professor Emerita of Theology and Religious Studies, University of
Bristol 'This is a most well-deserved Festschrift, both for the
regard and respect in which its recipient is plainly held, and for
the breadth of her lifelong interests which give the book plenty of
scope. A large range of topics turns out to be relevant for
celebrating the work of one scholar. Feminism and the problem of
evil are major themes; and practicalconcerns are never far away.'
Helen Oppenheimer 'Reading these essays brings one up to the
growing edge of theology and shows its future directions. The
essays, contributed by Ann Loades's friends, interlocutors,
colleagues, and students, carry forward her own balanced way of
doing theology. They integrate hard thinking with lived faith. They
respect the "voices from the past" but help restore the lost voices
of women. They think critically but refuse to water down the claims
of faith. They give the "real" world its due but do not surrender
faith's right to criticize secular norms. The book truly is a
fascinating tour of topics in current theology, and the
diversity--and, indeed, prominence--of contributors is a great
tribute to Ann. Highly recommended.' Edward H. Henderson, Professor
of Philosophy, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge 'Exchanges
of Grace contains a collection of creative and often unconventional
essays in sacramental theology and spirituality. Each essay of the
Festschrift can be studied individually but David W. Brown's
brilliant introduction renders this book an informative commentary
to Ann Loades's constructive theology.' Sven-Erik Brodd, Professor
of Ecclesiology, University of Uppsala, Sweden
