Reviews

Elizabeth Johnson's ground breaking theological work has nourished me all my religious life. This biography of her describes her journey and profound integrity. Beth's commitment to holy curiosity helps us all move towards insight. This book explains why.Simone Campbell, SSS, Executive Director NETWORK, Washington, DC Two words come to mind in reading this biographical sketch of the life and work of Elizabeth Johnson: integrity and courage. As a theologian she witnesses to integrity in her quest to experience and understand the mystery of God; as a religious and fellow pilgrim, her courage and fortitude merit emulation.+Robert F. Morneau, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Green Bay, Pastor of Resurrection Parish As Schlumpf notes throughout this rich and engaging text, her quest for the living God empowered her to enrich the lives of all with who she came in contact, impressing them with her deep and abiding faith in God and her desire to share that love with all.American Catholic Studies This short biography provides highlights in the life of this remarkable woman. Each chapter shows her growth in self-understanding, her heartfelt love for teaching and her students, and her extraordinary writing ability. For anyone who is a fan of Elizabeth Johnson's writing, this brief biography is worth your time.Emmanuel
