Renate Wind has composed a well-researched and searching biography of Dorothee Soelle (1929-2003), who became one of the most prolific and widely read theologians of the postwar period and a true religious provocateur. Winds short and insightful biography is informed by extensive interviews with Soelles friends and family, especially her husband, Fulbert Steffensky, by use of the familys archives, and by Winds extensive knowledge of contemporary theology, political history, and the contemporary church.
