me all my religious life. This biography of her describes her

Two words come to mind in reading this biographical sketch of the
life and work of Elizabeth Johnson: integrity and courage. As a
theologian she witnesses to integrity in her quest to experience
and understand the mystery of God; as a religious and fellow
pilgrim, her courage and fortitude merit emulation.+Robert F.
Morneau, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Green Bay, Pastor of
Resurrection Parish
As Schlumpf notes throughout this rich and engaging text, her quest
for the living God empowered her to enrich the lives of all with
who she came in contact, impressing them with her deep and abiding
faith in God and her desire to share that love with all.American
