Sallie McFague asks if human beings are, as market capitalism suggests, greedy individuals who deserve all we can get. Or are we members of a vast, complex community of creatures, all of whom need the basics for living? In spite their many differences, no religions endorse the option, "Blessed are the greedy" because they know that who eats and who does not is a justice issue. One of North Americas most important feminist theologians and ecological thinkers, McFague argues that humans are God's co-workers helping to bring about a more just and ecologically sustainable planet.
