Johnson's theological narrative attempts to connect ecological theories of destruction and distinction with a view that God is known by all creatures through their natural instincts. Humans are the enemy, guilty of establishing structures of evil intent. Jesus did not have to die (and one gets the impression he was not supposed to die) especially in the way he did. Johnson speculates Jesus didn't really know he was going to die in his last venture to Jerusalem. She also maintains that it was the Romans who connived to crucify him as an insurrectionist, not the Jews who tried to remove him. The resurrection may have happened, but one understands from her theology, it wasn't necessary. It was "creative interpretation" and myth, imposed by later generations. It was helpful to find the USCCB denounced her as promulgating a theology contrary to Church teaching. I think she is simply one of many looking to justify saving mosquitos by displacing very bad humans, and using a distorted theology to give semblance of justice. Too bad. ( )
