Seeking to critically reappropriate the Christian realism articulated by Niebuhr, she reinterprets solutions to problems emergent from his theology. Miles presents feminist Christian realism as an alternative that can reclaim a positive interpretation of divine transcendence and human self-transcendence while maintaining newer emphases on human boundedness and divine immanence. Theologians and ethicists will find her critical reassessment of the three authors distinctive and her challenging proposal for a `positive creative transformation` a significant contribution to the development of feminist ethics.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Rebekah Miles</note> <subject> <topic>Religion -- Christianity -- General</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230.082</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R289-M64</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0195144163</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/29/_24743601_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/29/_24743601_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070717.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
