Reviews

"""In Nevertheless, We Persist, Rosemary Carbine explores contemporary public theology from a feminist perspective. . . . This exploration of public witness is nourishment for Gospel living in challenging times."" -Simone Campbell, SSS, 2022 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient ""Weaving together insights from Vatican II, feminist and womanist theologies of sacramentality, and a relational theological anthropology, Rosemary Carbine persuasively argues for enlarging the field of public theology. Her dramatic testimonies of 'ekklesial work' present the profound challenges on how to 'remake the public' while still sustaining hope in an increasingly complex world. Anyone who hungers for solidarity in our deeply fractured society will find both insightful encouragement and effective practical strategies that explain why 'nevertheless, we persist!'"" -Mary Ann Hinsdale, IHM, Boston College ""By asking much needed and decisive theological questions, Rosemary Carbine lays the foundation for a feminist public theology, one grounded in rhetorical, symbolic, and prophetic practices. This well-researched book is a must read for all who want to reimagine the 'relationship between Christianity and US public life' in a manner that takes seriously the pressing issues of our time."" -Nancy Pineda-Madrid, T. Marie Chilton Chair of Catholic Theology, Loyola Marymount University ""Rosemary Carbine re-ignites hope for a radically inclusive society and church. . . . Carbine offers a richly sourced text that uses paired 20th and 21st century social movements to highlight the anthropology, Christology, and eschatology of the ekklesial work of wo/men that embody the rhetorical, symbolic, and prophetic practices of a public theology that prioritizes suffering people, critiques present injustice, and 'edges toward' a more just future."" -Elena G. Procario-Foley, Br. John G. Driscoll Professor of Jewish-Catholic Studies, Iona University"
