I have written a book in praise of women, and I am a man. Though
other men share my admiration for women and my appreciation (as
both awareness and gratitude) for what they have endured on our
behalf, women are owed more than this alone. So, with that debt as
guide, I wrote this book because I feel that no previous written
work has ever done justice to the need that a man publicly offer to
women an extended tribute for what they have offered to us. My book
is based upon the conviction that most women possess, and have
always possessed, those strengths of character upon which all
meaningful human progress would depend, but which many of the men
have yet to learn. Our progress then requires that men secure for
themselves those qualities that have been considered feminine to
this time, although they are, in the end, the birthright of men as
well. In support of this, my book discusses a number of relevant
issues, including history, television, science, sex, and men. the
central purpose of this book, and although that purpose is
constructive by intent and gentle by virtue of its subject, it
necessarily includes discussion not only of woman herself, but also
of what opposes her.
Rhetoric ad Social Justice in Isaiah applies a literary methodology
to the book of Isaiah in order critically to explore the nature and
sources of the social justice encoded in the world created by the
text. After a close reading of Isaiah 1: 16, 17, Gray establishes
grounds for a trajectory to Isaiah 58, preparatory to examining if
it offers a deepening of the concept of social justice in the
Isaianic corpus. Gray raises the issue of divine reliability to
assess the impact on the theme of social justice of the rhetoric of
universal punishment by the divine/prophetic voice. He evaluates
the ways the stark Isaianic dichotomy between reliance on God and
anything of human origin is affected by trust in God being
destabilized: if trust in God is demonstrated to be difficult on
account of legitimate doubts about divine justice, then the way is
opened for retaining an active human role in the search for
justice. Gray demonstrates the ways that social justice attains
primacy in Isaiah, the ways that humanity if given a role in
pursuing social justice, and the ways that Isaiah 58 impinges upon
the idea of social justice within the book as a whole.
