| Summary: | Identity, feminist theory, and theology / Linell Elizabeth Cady -- Women's experience between a rock and a hard place : feminist, womanist, and mujerista theologies in North America / Serene Jones -- Seeking and sucking : on religion and essence in feminist theology / Catherine Keller -- Theself between feminist theory and theology / Thandeka -- Contesting the gendered subject : a feminist account of the imago Dei / Mary McClintock Fulkerson -- Thebody politic vs. lesbian bodies : publics, counterpublics, and the uses of norms / Janet R. Jakobsen -- Bad women : the limits of theory and theology / Paula M. Cooey -- Becoming an American Jewish feminist / Laura Levitt -- A history of our own : what would a feminist history of theology look like? / Sheila Briggs -- Social theory concerning the "new social movements" and the practice of feminist theology / Kathryn Tanner -- Continuing the story, but departing the text : a historicist interpretation of feminist norms in theology / Sheila Greeve Davaney -- Theorizing feminist theology / Rebecca S. Chopp. By all accounts, feminist theology is at a crossroads. Even as the longstanding consensus wanes that women's experience is the source and norm of feminist theology, the specific and often contradictory experience of different groups is now highlighted, and new theoretical frameworks are being proposed. This landmark volume explores central issues of female subjectivity and feminist identity, gender and embodiment, tradition and norms, and their impact on theology. Leading thinkers in this new generation of feminist theologians rethink the central claims of feminist theology and offer proposals for the future |
