Against the Wind: Memoir of a Radical Christian
Leading church activist and theologian
Dorothee Soelle here recalls a lifetime of
learning and activism in church, academy,
and politics. Born in 1929 in Cologne,
Germany, she was a young girl during the war
years and the Holocaust. She studied
classical philology and philosophy, then
theology and literature. Her 1972
dissertation at the University of Cologne
explored connections of literature and
theology since the Enlightenment. Among the
most widely read theologians of our time,
she has pioneered in political, feminist,
and liberation theologies.
