Dr Bacon proposes that ‘feminist values support a trinitarian understanding of God’ such that she can make the case for thinking that ‘a trinitarian understanding of God affirms feminist values’ (p. 9).

| Summary: | Dr Bacon proposes that ‘feminist values support a trinitarian understanding of God’ such that she can make the case for thinking that ‘a trinitarian understanding of God affirms feminist values’ (p. 9). Since Western feminists are not notably publicly committed to the Christian tradition, Dr Bacon, like many another, is implicitly signalling the inadequacy of that tradition as it has been largely understood, since Christian feminists seek their resources outside it in order to reform it from within. If there is indeed a coincidence, as it were, of feminist values with Christian values then we may acknowledge a mandate ‘for liberative praxis which celebrates difference’ and affirms ‘the subjectivity of women’. |
