Summary

With prophetic insight Dorothee Soelle cuts to the heart of the destructive fear that now threatens our fragile earth and all its people.  Speaking 'out of the heart of the Beast' through feminist and Third-World liberation theologies, she critiques a Western culture she sees as suicidal in its militarism and murderous in its environmental destruction.  With ironic wisdom and powerful imagery Soelle rejects our personal and corporate preoccupation with security and envisions a new culture of vulnerability -- grounded in faith as resistance and 'saturated with a deep love of life.'

Editorial Review

Dorothee Soelle is one tough Christian . . . A rare presence in world Christianity because she embodies the best of classical theology, a clear grasp of our broad social crisis, a lyrical quality of expression and a determination to keep faith linked to political reality . . . . Soelle warrants a serious reading precisely because the crisis in which the Western church finds itself is indeed acute and demanding . . . Perhaps Soelle can look the crisis in the face so honestly because she so clearly believes the gospel and trusts its God.
