Author Biography Caryn D. Riswold is a feminist theologian in the Lutheran tradition. She is Professor of Religion and also teaches Gender and Womens Studies at Illinois College in Jacksonville, IL, where she has worked for over a decade teaching undergraduates to think critically and creatively about religion. She earned her PhD and ThM from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, holds a masters degree from the Claremont School of Theology, and received her BA from Augustana College in her childhood hometown of Sioux Falls, SD. Review ""Riswolds talent as a teacher comes shining through as she confronts the suspicions Christians and feminists hold of one another, calling for appreciation of the complexity and diversity in both traditions. Rather than simply reviewing past interactions between Christianity and feminism, she boldly takes the conversation into the twenty-first century by engaging the pressing issues of race, ecology, sexuality, and interreligious understanding. A must-read for students, book groups, and scholars alike."" --Deanna A. Thompson, Professor of Religion Hamline University ""Even though the conversation between feminism and Christianity has developed for decades, no other book so clearly names and answers the leading questions they ask of each other . . . Riswolds book is a delightful introductory resource for individuals, classes, and groups as it touches on and aptly answers all the main questions and fears I have heard expressed from students in womens studies and religion courses concerning feminism and Christianity. All in all, Feminism and Christianity exemplifies Riswolds gift for thorough, broad scholarship presented in a very clear, engaging, and accessible style."" --Marit A.Trelstad editor of Cross Examinations: Readings on the Meaning of the Cross Today "Caryn Riswolds book is a masterpiece in the rare art of distilling complex intellectual histories into lucid accessible narratives, and articulating complex ideas with clarity. This work reveals Riswolds sophisticated intellect and her agility in feminist thought, Christian theology, and the interplay between them. The reader will enter a strikingly honest, daring, fruitful, and spirited conversation between feminism and Christianity. Riswold highlights the rich diversity within each and illumines their shared commitment to a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world." --Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, Associate Professor of Theological Ethics, Seattle University Review Quote "Riswolds talent as a teacher comes shining through as she confronts the suspicions Christians and feminists hold of one another, calling for appreciation of the complexity and diversity in both traditions.
