| Introduction | Professor Farley received her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in 1988. Her teaching interests include religious dialogue, classical texts, and contemporary ethical issues. Her first book, Tragic Vision and Divine Compassion: A Contemporary Theodicy (Westminster John Knox, 1990) reflects an attempt to synthesize these disciplines. A second work, Eros for the Other: Retaining Truth in a Pluralistic World (Penn State: 1996), also takes up the relationships between ethical and philosophical issues in religion. In 2005, she published The Wounding and Healing of Desire: Weaving Heaven and Earth (Westminster John Knox), which combines attention to contemplative practices, folk traditions, and inter-religious dialogue to reflect on suffering and transformation. |
