Rita Gross and Rosemary Radford Ruether have long been known for their feminist contributions to Buddhism and Christianity, respectively. In this book, they talk candidly about what these traditions mean to them in both their liberating as well as problematic aspects. Throughout the book, their life stories provide the rich soil, perhaps even the rationale, for their theological and spiritual development. Despite the marked differences in their life histories and their respective religious faiths, Gross and Radford Ruether achieve surprising unanimity on the paramount issue: what engaged Buddhism and enlightened Christianity can offer in the struggle to create a new future for the planet.
Rosemary Radford Ruether is an American feminist scholar and Catholic theologian. She is currently Visiting Professor of Religion and Feminist Theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University, USA.
Rita M. Gross was Professor of Comparative Studies in Religion at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, USA.
