At this time of virulent injustice, this essential book offers a clarion call for Christians to do two things--honestly confront and reckon with the ways that their tradition has justified domination, cruelty, and exploitation, and wholeheartedly embrace, nurture, and expand the aspects of that tradition that enable them to live with radical compassion, mutual respect, and reciprocity with other peoples and with the natural world that enchants, delights, and sustains us. --Sharon D. Welch, former Provost and Professor of Religion and Society, Meadville Lombard Theological School When Wendy Farley offered her alternative to classic Christian theodicies in her now classic work Tragic Vision and Divine Compassion, she became a prominent voice within constructive theology. By making human experience of suffering and evil her starting point, particularly the experience of those who have been pushed to the margin within church and society, Farley introduced a paradigm shift in contemporary theological discourse. This volume bears a witness to the significance of Farley's unique and powerful theological contribution. --Arnfridur Gudmundsdottir, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Iceland
