RT Article T1 Feminist New Materialism and Process Theology: Beginning the Dialogue JF Feminist theology VO 25 IS 2 SP 198 OP 207 A1 Hekman, Susan J. 1949- LA English PB Sage YR 2017 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1559503262 AB For many years feminist theologians have found much in common with process theology. As a consequence a robust tradition has developed that links feminist theology with many aspects of process theology. An important element of this tradition is the attempt to draw similarities between postmodernism and feminist process theology. In this article I argue, first, that the connection between feminist process theology and postmodernism is philosophically problematic and, second, that another contemporary feminist approach, the new materialism, provides the basis for a more fruitful dialogue between feminist theology and process theology. My goal is to extend this dialogue.
