Book SynopsisThis volume takes women’s voices and experiences as the primary data for thinking about interfaith encounter in the modern world. It places original work on women in mission, the secular women’s movement and women in interreligious dialogue in conversation with theological anthropology, feminist theory and theology.
Trade Review"... a major contribution to an evolving field." -- -S. Mark Heim Andover Newton Theological School "Jeannine Hill Fletcher's research in this work is ingenious and original. She discovered examples of distinctively women's experience, brought extensive theological knowledge and penetrating reflection to bear on it, and generated new insight to our understanding of human existence and Christian mission. This well-written book documents unique contributions to interreligious dialogue on the part of women. Outstanding." -- -Roger Haight Union Theological Seminary
