Description

---

Elizabeth Johnson is widely regarded as among the most influential and creative Catholic theologians in the world--particularly for her contributions in bringing a feminist perspective to the central themes of Christian faith. Among her books are path-breaking works on God, Jesus, the church, Mary, and the communion of saints. In many cases she has also treated these themes in essays and lectures addressed to the wider "people of God." This volume is the first collection of these writings. It offers an overview of her essential work, but at the same time, given the range of her concerns, a brilliantly fresh exploration of the Christian faith.
