Zusatztext The writers in this volume are involved in a struggle to bring religious thought and practice to a new place that is more inclusive of women and women's concerns. They are passionately invested in this struggle, most of them determined to maintain their "engagement with the faith community"...even as they reveal its considerable shortcomings. Their work not only identifies the problems with traditional theology but, through their very identification, engages in a redemptive process to create theologies that are more complete, even more sacred. Informationen zum Autor 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. Klappentext Christianity and Judaism have produced reflective theology of thousands of years--until recently! relatively little of it was by women. This volume brings together the best essays in the field to give some idea of the riches of feminist writings in theology! now a global phenomenon and one that touches all the standard subdisciplines of theology! including scriptural studies! philosophy of religion and ethics! and historical theology. Topics include text and interpretation! the human person! the person of Jesus! embodiment! spirituality and sexuality! ecofeminism! and motherhood. Zusammenfassung Many assume that tumultuous debate in the last decades of the 20th century left women with a clear-cut choice - either faith or feminism. The essays in this collection suggest otherwise; women continue to feel at once drawn to and rejected by traditional religions. The volume emphasises both Christian and Jewish feminist writings in theology. Inhaltsverzeichnis I.
