Theology for Sceptics

In this popular yet academically grounded look at Jesus, liberation theologians Dorothee Soelle and Luise Schottroff offer a corrective to the "Jesus of history" research recently made popular through the work of the Jesus Seminar. By situating Jesus within his community of friends--who played a large part in his life, ministry, and movement--the authors show that the story of Jesus has not come to a close. Rather, Jesus of Nazareth demonstrates how his works, words, and inspired community pose timeless challenges for contemporary life.
This book includes sixty-seven color illustrations, a glossary, chronological table, map, and brief annotated bibliography.

Bringing together issues of religion and life, politics and personal identity, feminism and liberation theology, Dorothee Soelle presents a powerful critique of modern society, striking at dehumanizing elements that combine to oppress both women and men. Over the years, Soelle had challenged European and American readers with incisive commentary on a variety of social, ethical, literary, and theological topics. This work embodies the constant drive to radicalization and the passionate involvement that have always been the hallmark of her writing.

The book of God is also a book of people. Love and lust, devotion and betrayal, sex, sin, jealousy, and grief — the stories of biblical couples disclose a full panorama of human emotions and actions. These stories of love, marriage, sex, and death, historically fascinating and yet also wellsprings of great artistic traditions and religious meaning, are here presented in an informative and engaging format with more than 200 full-color illustrations from classic, chiefly Western art sources. 
Some of the couples explored are: Adam and Eve, Jacob and Leah and Rachel, Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Tobias and Sara, Amnon and Tamar, Judith and Holofernes, Joseph and Potiphar’s wife, Ruth and Boaz, Abraham and Hagar, Moses and Zipporah, Ahab and Isabel, and more.

In this meditative work, completed only days before her own death, Soelle faces the old and new anxieties we have about death in the midst of our own cultural danse macabre. In conversation with the writings of C. S. Lewis, Erich Fromm, the Apostle Paul, and others, she takes the theological measure of death and explores also how it has figured especially in the experience of women. Intense, personal, yet also whimsical and clever, The Mystery of Death finds Soelle asking impertinent and deadly serious questions to the end. Includes the author's meditation "Where Love Is, There Is God."
