Feminist Theory and Christian Theology: Cartographies of Grace
This long-awaited text charts clearly and
comprehensively the enormously important
area of feminist theory -- and brings it
into fruitful conversation with Christian
theology.
Jones introduces the primary concerns that animate feminist theory through discussion of critical texts and through women's narratives. She shows how they pose uncomfortable questions, and leave no corner of the Christian tradition unchallenged. Jones unfolds feminist theory in three broad categories that analyze human identity and gender, oppression, and ethics. She then illustrates their potential for illuminating theological categories of experience, truth, text, and norm to revitalize three key traditional Christian doctrines: faith, sin, and church.
