"This is a demanding but rewarding book. Dr. Parsons wants to
reconstrue theological ethics by developing our critical
sensitivity to the ways we are made by our cultures. That human
beings are richly complex and positively creative is a key feature
of what she has to say about 'gender'. This profoundly theological
book centres on the virtue of hope and the transfiguration of human
relationships. No crying for the moon here, but something which is
a serious possibility." Ann Loades, University of Durham,
UK
"This work is a fine achievement. There is an impressive range
of treatments, remarkable erudition, consistent clarity, and
imaginative glimpses of a new future for recognizably Christian
ethics. It is certain to be discussed for several years."
