Women Thinking Theology
Topical and provocative, this is a collection of learned and insightful essays on Christian theology and feminism by leading Australian women scholars. The contributors to this volume explore the complex theme of freedom and entrapment from a variety of disciplinary stances, and in so doing enrich our understanding of the many threads of meaning that comprise the Christian outlook. This is not an exercise in the academic study of religion, but a vigorous engagement by the contributors from within their diverse Christian traditions: Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, Orthodox and Aboriginal.
The related concepts of entrapment and freedom, coercion and liberation, are treated here in original and sophisticated ways. Issues arising from church reform, gender and race relations, biblical exegesis, theological discourse and feminist history will, in this book, treat the reader to an invigorating experience of feminist writing at its best.
