Searching for the Future in the Past - (T&t Clark Renewing Feminist Theology as Inclusive Radical PRAXIS) (Hardcover)

About the Book

This anthology seeks to renew and reclaim the rich legacies of feminist theology through inclusive discourses, across various social and cultural differences, that speak to the critical issues and multipicities facing women-identified persons.

Book Synopsis

Inclusive and progressive theological and religious perspectives have an important and distinctive contribution to make to an analysis of the critical issues facing women-identified persons in the 21st century. This incisive collection of essays recovers the missing theological voices, grounded in those religious communities and traditions, which gender and sexuality studies often overlook.

Feminist theologies have, from their beginnings, aspired to be the communal production of women-identified persons who critically reflect on their experiences in the contexts of culture, social standpoint, religious practices and beliefs, and imagination of the Feminine Divine. Pae and Talvacchia draw from this heritage to engage the critical issues of today to create new perspectives. They create an intellectual and discursive space where feminist theologians in all of their diversity renew and reclaim the rich legacies of the feminist theological tradition through inter-generational, racially diverse, and transnational conversation.
