First published 2013. This ground-breaking book examines the lives
of two extraordinary, religious women. Both Edith Stein and Regina
Jonas were German Jewish women who demonstrated 'deviant' religious
desires as they pursued their spiritual paths to serve their
communities during the Holocaust. Both were religious visionaries
viewed as iconoclasts in their own times. Stein, the first woman to
receive a doctorate in philosophy from Husserl, the founder of
phenomenology, claimed her Jewish identity while she was still a
cloistered Carmelite nun. Jonas, the first woman rabbi in Jewish
history, served as a rabbi in Berlin and Theresienstadt
concentration camp. A study of a contemplative and a rabbi, the
book ranges across many spiritual and theological questions, not
least it offers a remarkable exploration of the theology of
spiritual resistance. For Stein, this meant redemption and the
transmutation of suffering on the cross; for Jonas, acts of
compassion bring the face of God into our presence.
'Voices of Feminist Liberation' brings together a wide range of
scholars to explore the work of Rosemary Radford Ruether, one of
the most influential feminist and liberation theologians of our
time. Ruether's extraordinary and ground-breaking thinking has
shaped debates across liberation theology, feminism and
eco-feminism, queer theology, social justice and inter-religious
dialogue. At the same time, her commitment to practice and agency
has influenced sites of local resistance around the world as well
as on globalised strategies for ecological sustainability and
justice. 'Voices of Feminist Liberation' examines the potential of
Ruether's thinking to mobilize critical theology, social theory and
cultural practice. The scholars gathered here present their
personal engagements with Ruether's thinking and teaching. The book
will be invaluable to scholars, policy-makers, and activists
seeking to understand how colonial and patriarchal oppression in
the name of religion can be confronted and defeated.
