What are the most fundamental assumptions (both metaphysical and epistemological) within one feminist christian theological paradigm? This book answers that question. What is unique about Euroamerican feminist christian theology? What are the most fundamental assumptions present within this particular theological paradigm? In this book the author takes a rather close look at the theology of Rosemary Radford Reuther, Carter Heyward and Sallie McFague in order to determine what assumptions about the nature of reality, God and knowledge they hold in common. Containing as well a brief tour of the philosophical and theological influences upon the formation of this theological paradigm, and a foray into the land of contemporary feminist approaches to the study of knowledge, the book locates feminist christian theology within its historical intellectual context. It thus provides a thorough introduction to the subject, replete with footnotes designed to amuse and delight.
