Rosemary Radford Ruether’s Global Scope in Interfaith Reconciliation

Rosemary Radford Ruether’s life work demonstrates in books, conferences, and courses her commitment to facilitating dialogue to advance the well-being of women, not as a secular feminist, but as a feminist theologian providing self-critical attention within the Christian community. Her work is an exemplar of redemptive recovery from harmful thinking and the concrete contexts where harmful thinking becomes systematized and institutionalized. Drawing primarily from her Buddhist-Christian dialogues with Rita Gross, this essay provides a series of vignettes to demonstrate Ruetherian methods for self-critical Christian participation in pluralistic encounter
