Sixteenth-century Europe was a tumultuous time. It was the time of
plagues, a time of wars, and a time of reformation. The Protestant
Reformation was at a decisive moment. We hear a great deal about
men who shaped that time, such as Martin Luther, John Calvin,
Ulrich Zwingli, Thomas Butzer, and innumerable others. But who were
the women who stood behind those men? One of them was Wibrandis
Rosenblatt. Hers is a remarkable story. She married and buried four
men in succession, all of them Protestant reformers. She endured
the daily hardships and annoyances of the Protestant parsonage. She
cracked the whip on a wayward son. She liked family outings,
especially during the grape harvest. Eventually, she was swept away
by the plague of 1564. Through all this, Wibrandis was a faithful
witness to Christianity.
Beginning with the tatters of Europe after World War I, the authors
deftly survey a myriad of Christian theologians. These theologians
have responded creatively to the steep challenges to faith in this
tumultuous century - from Karl Barths No! to Reinhold Niebuhr's
Christian realism, from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's "religionless
Christianity" to Rosemary Radford Ruether's feminist liberation
theology. Easily accessible to both the theological student and the
inquiring lay reader, this succinct and reliable guide opens doors
to some of the most profound religious insights of our time.
