In The Strength of the Weak, Dorothee Soelle treats a wide range of issues relating to religion and public life, politics and personal identity, feminism, and liberation theology. Divided into two sections, the first half of the book centers on issues of faith and society, while the second examines the foundations of a feminist theology. Although the writings included in the volume are gathered from diverse sources addressing different audiences, they collectively represent helpful challenges to traditional means of thinking, speaking, and acting, which enact dehumanizing effects upon women and men alike.
