Clearly and lucidly written. It belongs on the shelf beside Kung and Schillebeeckx, whose christology it challenges. Library Journal With impressive scholarship and deft economy of language, Rosemary Ruether targets what she believes to be the four most 'pressing' questions for Christians today: 'political commitment in the light of poverty and oppression...anti-Judaism and religious intolerance...justice for the female half of the human race...human survival in the face of chronic environmental abuse.' The Christian Century The book synthesizes many of Ruether's earlier writings and can serve as an admirable introduction to the significant work of this contemporary theologian. Emmanuel [Ruether's] thesis is a useful and fascinating one, intriguingly and illumninatively illustrated by her choices. Ruether sustains...the assertion of the vital importance of the relationship between cultural criticism and Christology. AAR Christology Newsletter Ruether here turns Christology itself into a principle for the critique of culture and a source for an alternative vision of the human prospect.... There is new voice as well as new insight to the brief, provocative chapters of To Change the World. Ruether is repeating something she has said before, but in doing so she is saying something new.
