Feminism represents a radical challenge to Christianity. Havingdeveloped its doctrine and its scriptures in a world in which womenwere considered subordinate, the Christian religion is nowconfronted with a deeply held ethical belief that women should betreated as equals. Dr Hampson argues that this ethical challenge confronts thechurch over the issues of priesthood and ordination, language andimagery, and hermeneutics and theology. In each of these areas, sheclaims, the Christian religion cannot by definition come to termswith the equality of women. Feminism however suggests new ways toconceive God and reformulate theological ideas for a world in whichChristianity is no longer tenable. Theology and Feminism contains chapters on methodology,Christology, symbolism, anthropology and theology. It is the firstbook from a post-Christian perspective to grapple with all themajor areas of theology. Covering the work of conservativeChristian, Christian feminist and radical feminist thinkers inreligion, it will be welcomed by those already familiar with thediscussion, as well as providing a clear introduction for those whoare new to the subject.
