Rosemary Radford Ruethers authoritative, award-winning critique of womens unequal standing in the church, which explored the complex history of redemption in evaluating conflict over the fundamental meaning of the Christian gospel for gender relations, is now in an updated and expanded edition.

Ruether turns her attention to the situation of women globally and how the growing plurality of womens voices from multicultural and multireligious contexts articulates feminist liberation theology today.
