Dorothee Soelle was a pioneering figure: a leader among German Christians in grappling with Auschwitz; a poet expressing utopian longings; a political activist, socialist, and liberation theologian; a mystic offering a vision of faith for people disillusioned with bourgeois Christianity. This is the first English language collection of original essays analyzing Soelle's work. Three recent pieces by Soelle, newly translated into English by Barbara and Martin Rumscheidt, are included.
