sophiaserpentiaI made my first foray into Harvard's Widener Library yesterday. The stacks are kind of depressing; it is like going into a huge basement, and the aisles are unlit until you enter them.
But, who can resist the allure of ten floors of books, if you're a book person? And I was able to check out books until September.
I picked up:
On Humane Governance by Richard Falk, after a heads-up by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hfx_ben. Glancing it over, it seems to have a good appraisal of the problem he terms "inhumane governance" (I like my term "Cannibal" better), and then seeks a way to move to a free-market capital-driven yet humanely governed world. More on that when I have a chance to read it.
Jesus and the Politics of Interpretation by Elizabeth Fiorenza Schussler. This is a work of feminist theology, which I want to read about more.
The Cambridge Companion to Liberation Theology, edited by Christopher Rowland. I read the intro and this excited me very much -- liberation theology may have more in common with my own "embedded theology" than I realized.
