Feminism and Theology
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-878246-9 (ISBN)
Christianity and Judaism have inspired reflective theology for thousands of years but until recently, little of it was written by women. Feminism not only proposes new answers to the questions, but compels a reevaluation as to the questions themselves.
The essays in this volume represent the richnes of feminist writings in theology, an area that commands international interest, inside and outside the academy, and addresses aspects of theological study including biblical interpretation, historical approaches, doctrine philosophy of religion and ethics. This book brings together some of the best essays in the field, with an introduction by Janet Martin Soskice mapping the historical, global and doctrinal contributions to theology.The essys are arranged thematically, and an introduction mapping the area is enhanced by general remarks on each theme and specific comments on individual contributions. This book seeks to engage readers new to the field as well as professionals. The collection emphasises the importance of grass roots contributions alongside academic work.
Janet Martin Soskice is a leading figure in modern theology - she is a past president of the Catholic Theological Association of Great Britain, former McCarthy Visiting Professor at the Gregorian University in Rome, and a frequent broadcaster on religious and ethical issues. Diana Lipton directs studies in Theology at Newnham College, a Cambridge college dedicated to educating women since its foundation in 1875. She teaches Hebrew Bible to rabbinical students at Leo Baeck College - Centre for Jewish Education in London, and is responsible for children's education and for leading many religious services at Beth Shalom Reform Synagogue in Cambridge.
