This volume addresses a theme long essential to feminist and liberationist theology: In what can we hope, and what role should hope play in our actions and our lives? An interdisciplinary approach, it provides a much-needed constructive set of proposals and fills a crucial gap in theological resources.
Well-known contributors address the theme from their different contexts and fields: biblical scholarship (Sharon Ringe, Katharine Sakenfeld, Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza, Elsa Tamez, Phyllis Trible); theology (James Cone, M. Shawn Copeland, Jurgen Moltmann, Mercy Amba Oduyoye, Rosemary Radford Ruether); and ethics (Katie G. Cannon, Beverly Harrison, Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz, Kwok Pui-lan, Joan Martin). J. Shannon Clarkson offers a retrospective of Letty Russell's work as it relates to the liberation of eschatology.
