Carrie Gress Books

In this third installment of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering turn their attention to the role of the sea in our memories and imaginations. Drawing from literature, mythology, and scripture, At the Sea pulls out the rich connections between the sea and mystery, recreation, yearning, and joyful reunions, with themes of home and womanhood woven throughout. This edition of Theology of Home includes the characteristically beautiful photography readers have come to know and appreciate from the series that captures home life, nature, family, and of course, the sea.

Fellow at Ethic & Public Policy Center, scholar at The Institute for Human Ecology at CUA and the nationally best-selling author of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress argues that fifty years of radical feminism have had the opposite of the intended effect and have granted primacy of place to the traditionally male sphere of life, while simultaneously devaluing the typical attributes, virtues, and strengths of women.

Challenging conventional feminist narratives, the book argues that modern feminism undermines the identity and experiences of women rather than empowering them. It explores the implications of this perspective, emphasizing the need to recognize and celebrate women's unique attributes and contributions. Through critical analysis, the author invites readers to reconsider the impact of feminist movements on women's autonomy and societal roles, ultimately advocating for a redefined understanding of women's empowerment.
