In commemoration of the tenth anniversary of her book In Memory of Her (Crossroad, 1984), Fiorenza presents a collection of superb essays, which, as she says in the introduction, also serve to document the history of feminist theology. These essays articulate a vision of spiritual liberation and authority for Christian women. Each is introduced with a "contextualization" that tells the reader the circumstances of the first presentation and of the evolution of thought in the intervening years. Why would a feminist stay in the church? Why would a feminist baptize her daughter in the patriarchal church? Fiorenza here answers these questions with scholarship, reflection, and compassion. Recommended without reservation for collections in women's studies, religious studies, and sociology.
