Dorothee Soelle travelled for two and a half months through Latin America and the poverty, struggle and oppression of the people she met made a huge impression on her. In this book, she chronicles how they find hope in laughter, prayer and music and discover secret paths to liberation. The text includes an explanation of Liberation Theology terms.

How can one achieve personal identity? That is the question from which this essay starts and which it seeks to relate to the other question, what does Christ mean for our human life.

Political theology

Historical fascination with women of the Bible has contributed a great wealth of artistic images, literature, legends, fables, and religious poetry to Western traditions. From heroic figures such as Judith and Esther to deep friends like Ruth and Naomi, the Bible presents a plenitude of women whose deeds and desires have inspired Western art and culture for more than two thousand years. 
Culled from a larger, more expensive volume by the same authors first published by Eerdmans in 1994, this beautiful volume focuses on fifteen biblical characters and gloriously presents not only their stories but also more than 200 art-historical images of them, along with searching commentary by the late theologian Dorothee Soelle and discussion of their post-biblical legacies in art and literature by historian Joe Kirchberger. 
The figures discussed include Eve and Lilith, Sarah and Hagar, Tamar, Ruth and Naomi, Abigail, Judith, Esther, the woman who anointed Jesus, Mary of Magdala, Mary and Martha, and many more. This is a beautiful gift book with real substance.

Throughout history the women of the Bible have figured prominently in a great wealth of occidental art and have inspired important themes in world literature, fables, legends, songs, and folk stories. This beautiful volume shows how the women of Scripture have been variously portrayed in art and literature throughout the centuries - even as it reinterprets these portrayals for people today. Here are the great women of the Bible, from Eve to Mary, as portrayed by artists from the early Christian period to the present day. Each sequence of illustrations - including photographs of sculptures, frescoes, panels, miniatures, and modern graphics - is accompanied by a detailed caption that clarifies the particular vision of each artist represented. The women of the Bible also appear here as they are depicted in texts from the Bible, the Apocrypha, Coptic literature, the Talmud, the Koran, and the treasury of religious legends. Further references have been culled from the great works of literature, from writers such as Dante, Goethe, Thomas Mann, Gustave Flaubert, and Oscar Wilde - men who were fascinated by the power of the biblical texts and who interpreted the female characters in new, creative ways.

Crossroad

Unquestioning obedience - in politics, religion, and gender roles - leads to disaster. But how are we to overcome these pernicious traditions without hurtling toward anarchy and antinomianism? In this updated edition of a classic text, theologian Dorothee Solle examines historical patterns of obedience and oppression and suggests a model of timeless "creative disobedience" that leads to liberation for all. Appealing to the figure of Jesus, whose earthly ministry was marked by submission to the will of God, not to oppressive institutions. Solle reminds us that this kind of revolutionary response is required of all of us. She also offers a revealing account of her own evolution as a female scholar searching for the meaning of God - a search that led not to a rejection of her faith, but to the theological justification of faithful and creative disobedience.
