Religious feminism and the future of the planet
Book Description
Two pioneering voices in religious feminism come together to explore how ancient wisdom traditions can address our planet's most pressing challenges. Rita Gross, a renowned Buddhist scholar, and Rosemary Radford Ruether, a distinguished Christian theologian, engage in candid dialogue about their respective spiritual paths and the transformative potential they hold for our world's future.
Drawing from their personal journeys and decades of scholarship, these women examine both the liberating and problematic aspects of Buddhism and Christianity through a feminist lens. Their conversations reveal how their individual life experiences have shaped their theological understanding and spiritual development, creating a foundation for profound insights about faith, gender, and environmental responsibility.
Despite following different religious traditions and having distinct personal histories, Gross and Radford Ruether discover remarkable common ground in their vision for planetary healing. They demonstrate how engaged Buddhism and enlightened Christianity can work together to address ecological crisis and social transformation.
This interfaith exploration offers readers a unique perspective on how feminist spirituality can contribute to creating sustainable solutions for our planet's future. Through honest reflection and scholarly wisdom, the authors present a compelling case for how religious traditions, when approached with feminist consciousness, can become powerful forces for positive change in our interconnected world.
