Susan A. Ross is Professor of Theology at Loyola University Chicago. She is the author of Extravagant Affections: A Feminist Sacramental Theology (Continuum, 1998) and For the Beauty of the Earth (Paulist, 2006). She is President-Elect of the Catholic Theological Society of America.
"Susan A. Ross raises questions that no sacramental tradition can
ignore....The book is rich both in its constructive proposals and
in the conversations Ross conducts with Protestant and Roman
Catholic scholars of sacramental and liturgical theology, ritual
theory, psychoanalysis, ethics and moral theology."-Christian
Century
"[Ross] shows how feminist theological concerns make a difference,
and can transform the way in which we understand the relationship
between God and the human being manifest here."-Currents in
Theology and Mission
"All women, especially women in pastoral ministry will find the
last chapter...very helpful for understanding the current status of
the liturgy and women's role in it. College instructors in
sacramental theology courses will find their students challenged to
think critically and to be nurtured in their spirituality through
reading and reflecting on this book....Extravagant Affections
deserves a wide audience."-Sisters Today
"Ross invites us to imagine new possibilities for communal worship
that would open us more fully to God's 'extravagant affections.' If
other sacramental theologians pursue her suggestions, we may yet
feast on the full banquet of the liturgy. We've survived too long
on saltines and tap water."-Commonweal
