ABSTRACT
In the author's corpus of some 35 books and hundreds of articles written from the mid-1960s to today it seems as if he had addressed a vast array of issues: the Church (especially Roman Catholicism), feminism, anti-Semitism, racism against African-Americans, Latin American liberation theology, Christian theological history from women's perspective, the mistreatment of Palestinians by the state of Israel, ecology, family and Buddhist-Christian dialogue. The early 1960s saw the beginning of the Second Vatican Council and the reform vision that began to sweep through the Church. He wrote several articles critiquing the view of sex and reproduction that underlay the Catholic anti-contraceptive position. Women from Latin America, Africa and from many Asian countries began to gather from the mid-1980s to contextualize their women's theologies. The intersection of feminism and ecology had been suggested in his 1975 book, New Woman, New Earth.
