Exploring the connections between the treatment of women and the environment, Elizabeth Johnson updates her 1993 lecture in this revised edition. She argues that the degradation of the natural world and the erosion of women's status have worsened, influenced by rising religious fundamentalism. Johnson highlights how perceptions of nature as "feminine" contribute to its exploitation, revealing a deeper critique of patriarchal structures that govern both women and the earth. The work calls for a reevaluation of these intertwined issues in contemporary society.

Explains what feminist theology is and how we can rediscover the feminine God within the Christian tradition, offering a profound vision of Christian theology, women's experience, and emancipation. This 25th anniversary edition, with new content, will keep it in the forefront of the feminist theology conversation.

Concerned with new frontiers in our understanding of God, this book aims to spread the light of theological knowledge, 'ever ancient, ever new'. It features transcendental, political, liberation, feminist, black, Hispanic, inter religious, and ecological theologies, ending with the particular Christian idea of the one God as Trinity.

An examination of the relationship between faith in God and the concept of ecological care within a crisis of biodiversity. For millennia plant and animal species have received little sustained attention as subjects of Christian theology and ethics in their own right. In Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love, Elizabeth A. Johnson concludes that love of the natural world is an intrinsic element of faith in God and that far from being an add-on, ecological care is at the center of moral life. Focused on the human dilemma of sin and redemptive grace, theology has considered the doctrine of creation to be mainly an overture to the main drama of human being's relationship to God. What value does the natural world have within the framework of religious belief? The crisis of biodiversity in our day, when species are going extinct at more than 1,000 times the natural rate, renders this question acutely important.Standard perspectives need to be realigned; theology needs to look out of the window, so to speak as well as in the mirror.

Sebastian was turned into a vampire on his eighteenth birthday by his mother, whom he thought had died ten years earlier. He struggled for meaning as a vampire and at first, he learned compassion and how to control the savage instincts inside him from his mother. And so, he lived amongst humans without spilling human blood. Two hundred years later, his mother is killed and he blamed humans. Sebastian became lost to rage and bitterness, embracing his darker and more brutal nature. After a year of vicious killings of humans to exact vengeance, he comes upon the young child of a woman he had just killed.
