| Summary: | Akke van der Kooi offers a systematic theological contribution to the discussion concerning God language in Feminist Theology. She shares their critique of the patriarchal father god but makes an appeal to learn from the ways that women in the Christian tradition, in spite of their marginalisation, lived with this image. Is there not a danger that the modern selfconscious attempts to reimage God may only lead to deconstruction and fail to take the real experiences of these women seriously? Van der Kooi explores various attempts by feminist theologians to revitalise our understanding of God using the concept of the Trinity. She cannot personally see this approach as the solution. Rather she chooses for the line of thought developed by J.B. Metz, D. Tracy and 0. Noordmans who emphasise the 'interruption' in our understanding of God. In other words the discontinuity of divine action (a God who speaks and is silent, who comes and goes, who comforts and blows where She will) and the experience of God's inbreaking presence as a disruptive interruption in our lives. Such moments of divine disclosure cannot be adequately expressed ('the empty space') but do engender new imaginative processes. |
