Abstract

Challenging Women's Orthodoxies in the Context of Faith marks a new stage in the development of theological thinking engaged with matters of gender. The contributors seek, in the context of faith and of modern cultural feminisms, to find ways of being critical and orthodox. Philosophical considerations of nature and the natural, ethical reflections on sacrifice and holy living, and theological concerns of grace and justification, of hope and transcendence, find expression here, presenting examples of the kind of challenging scholarship that is possible in post-modernity. Students and other readers exploring ethical, theological, pastoral and philosophical questions at the interface of faith and gender will find this book illuminating.
