• Chapter 1 Corporate Globalization and the Deepening of Earth's ImpoverishmentChapter 2 The Greening of World ReligionsChapter 3 Ecofeminist Thea/ologies and EthicsChapter 4 Alternatives to Corporate Globalization: Is a Different World Possible?

Ruether offers not only an insightful summary of the sociologically, economically, and ecologically disastrous course on which the world now finds itself but also a rich survey of the emerging religious resources for reversal. The problem is global, and her understanding of religion and, especially, of ecofeminism are global and remarkably up-to-date. Her concluding chapter provides as hopeful a picture as is possible of current movements toward a different world order. The importance of gender in shaping the present crisis, and of fundamental human orientation for the redirection of the world, are so great that even those who have given little thought to religious and ecofeminist traditions in the past have every reason to read this book with care.
