A Feminist Ethic of Risk proposes a new model for ethics and new life orientation for social justice. It directly addresses American and European "middle-class despair" over issues and challenges seemingly too large to tackle, such as environmental destruction or racism. Her ethic uproots classical assumptions and opens up the possibility of a strong religious vision or "theology of resistance and hope." This new edition includes a new chapter that situates the feminist ethic of risk in relation to other styles and options in religious ethics today.
Sharon D. Welch is the new Provost of Meadville Lombard Theological School, Chicago. For many years she was Professor of Religious Studies and Women's Studies at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
