Essays in Honor of Marilyn McCord Adams

Marilyn Mc Cord Adams (1943-2017) was a world-renowned philosopher, a theologian who forever changed conversations about God and evil, a compelling preacher, and a fierce advocate for the full belonging of LGBTQ+ people, especially in churches. Over the course of her career, she mentored philosophers, theologians, pastors, and activists. In this book, authors from each of these fields engage and expand upon Mc Cord Adams’s work. Chapters address theodicy and the Holocaust, the nature and limits of human free will, sexual violence, Trinitarian relations, beatific vision, friendship, climate change, and how to protest heterosexism with truth, humor, and cookies. Examples of Mc Cord Adams’s revised Episcopal liturgies–previously unpublished–are used to affirm the expansive love of God. Accessible and varied, these essays attest to Mc Cord Adams’s vocational integration, as she claimed and proclaimed God’s goodness in her different professional roles.
