This is a thought-provoking book featuring a compilation of essays that reflect on the current environmental crisis affecting women and our world in the twenty-first century. Throughout the book, the authors examine environmental injustices affecting various regions, including North America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. They highlight how environmental harm from climate change disproportionately affects individuals from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, including Blacks, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), especially women from those groups. The book is of interdisciplinary interest as it draws from politics, religion, economics, ecology, history, and health concepts. The book incorporates various perspectives; the essays are well-organized, engaging, and easy to follow. Each paper is strong on its own and offers more profound insight into the global effects of climate change when aligned with the others included in this book. Each chapter shares overlapping themes of environmental injustice caused by exploitation and its impact on human lives and the Earth. The essays are categorized into four sections: Knowledge, Ritual, Activism, and Food. Within each chapter, contributors provide insight into how minorities practice environmental activism through their sharing of wisdom, traditions, social justice, and food production. Indigenous knowledge is shared to acknowledge ancestral teachings about ecological consciousness and preservation taught by the Native Peoples. Some Indigenous folks mentioned are Marlene Castellano (Mohawk), Maggie Kovach (Cree), Elder Tom McCallum (Cree), Shane Wilson (Opaskwayak), Judy Iseke (Métis), and Gregory Cajete (Tewa) sharing the importance of Indigenous storytelling (p. 71), the Indigenous women of the Gond Peoples from India protecting sacred lands (p. 141), and the Nahua Peoples of Tenochtitlán practicing eco-technologies (pp. 226–230), to name a few. In addition, many women-led movements such as Teresa Felipe Costa of the National Collectors Movement in Brazil (p. 15), the Salim movement in Korea during the crisis involving the International Monetary Fund (IMF) (p. 52), Manos Anacshinas and Compacto Human in Pamplona Alta women colectivos who are addressing 1163308 FTH0010.1177/09667350231163308Feminist TheologyBook Review book-review2023
这是一本发人深省的书,其中汇集了一些文章,反映了21世纪影响妇女和我们世界的当前环境危机。在整本书中,作者研究了影响各个地区的环境不公正现象,包括北美、拉丁美洲、亚洲和非洲。他们强调了气候变化对环境的危害如何不成比例地影响到社会经济背景较低的个人,包括黑人、原住民和有色人种,尤其是这些群体的女性。这本书具有跨学科的兴趣,因为它借鉴了政治、宗教、经济学、生态学、历史和健康概念。这本书包含了各种观点;文章组织严密,引人入胜,通俗易懂。每一篇论文都有自己的强大之处,与本书中的其他论文相结合,对气候变化的全球影响提供了更深刻的见解。每一章都有关于剥削造成的环境不公正及其对人类生活和地球的影响的重叠主题。这些文章分为四个部分:知识,仪式,行动主义和食物。在每一章中,贡献者都会深入了解少数群体如何通过分享智慧、传统、社会正义和粮食生产来践行环境行动主义。分享土著知识是为了承认土著人民传授的关于生态意识和保护的祖先教义。提到的一些土著人包括Marlene Castellano(莫霍克人)、Maggie Kovach(克里人)、Elder Tom McCallum(克里人,以及Tenochtitlán的Nahua人民实践生态技术(第226–230页),仅举几例。此外,许多妇女领导的运动,如巴西国家收藏家运动的Teresa Felipe Costa(第15页)、国际货币基金组织(IMF)危机期间韩国的Salim运动(第52页)、潘普洛纳-阿尔塔妇女学院的Manos Anacshinas和Compacto Human,她们正在演讲1163308 FTH0010.1177/09667350231163308女权主义神学书评书评2023

Renee K. Harrison
Harrison offers a tribute to Rosemary Radford Ruether in the light of a host of womanist and feminist scholars who helped shape and inform the scholar and teacher she is today. Although Harrison has never met Ruether, the two women have something in common: Howard University. Ruether’s legacy lives on, and this pioneer, who has joined the cloud of witnesses, continues to influence Harrison’s vocational pathways.

Sarah Robinson
Rosemary Radford Ruether’s life work demonstrates in books, conferences, and courses her commitment to facilitating dialogue to advance the well-being of women, not as a secular feminist, but as a feminist theologian providing self-critical attention within the Christian community. Her work is an exemplar of redemptive recovery from harmful thinking and the concrete contexts where harmful thinking becomes systematized and institutionalized. Drawing primarily from her Buddhist-Christian dialogues with Rita Gross, this essay provides a series of vignettes to demonstrate Ruetherian methods for self-critical Christian participation in pluralistic encounter.

Rosemary Radford Ruether is without doubt a seminal scholar in the fields of feminist and ecofeminist theologies and has influenced several feminist thinkers from around the world. This article presents some of her positions on feminist liberation theologies and outlines the nature of her impact on these areas. In order to examine her contributions to liberation theologies, three topics will be considered: Ruether’s development of feminist views on liberated personhood, communities of liberation, and communal earth ethics. The article will conclude with a brief summary of her views on ecological and social concerns and their impact on current environmental challenges.

Rosemary Radford Ruether’s scholarly accomplishments and human achievements are rivaled by few and achieved by virtually no other theologian in recent memory.

I came to know Rosemary Radford Ruether in our later teaching and writing careers. She taught theology for some years at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California, while I was teaching biblical studies at San Francisco Theological Seminary, and later we shared 10 retirement years at Pilgrim Place in Claremont. Rather than speaking in general about her impact on me and on feminist theology in our generation, I want to share three stories of my experiences of her to show you something of her character, priorities, and accomplishments.
