Beskrivning

Integrating Ecofeminism, Globalization, and World Religions addresses the practical relevance of the interconnection of feminism, ecology, and religious theological thought, and will ask questions about the lack of attention to gender issues in both ecological theology and deglobalization theory. The book knits together four concerns: globalization, interfaith ecological theology, ecofeminism, and deglobalization movements and thought. It examines how gender needs to be connected with inter-faith ecological theology and with critical analysis of globalization. It asks how to connect theory and practice; and how theoretical views about a more earth friendly theology have actual relevance to the deglobalization struggle. The book looks at these issues comparatively across different world religions and across different regions of the earth.

Mer om författaren

Recensioner i media

Ruether offers not only an insightful summary of the sociologically, economically, and ecologically disastrous course on which the world now finds itself but also a rich survey of the emerging religious resources for reversal. The problem is global, and her understanding of religion and, especially, of ecofeminism are global and remarkably up-to-date. Her concluding chapter provides as hopeful a picture as is possible of current movements toward a different world order. The importance of gender in shaping the present crisis, and of fundamental human orientation for the redirection of the world, are so great that even those who have given little thought to religious and ecofeminist traditions in the past have every reason to read this book with care.
