Recenzii
"The picture that emerges from Women, Writing, Theology is one of the conscience in its purest form, and all the different patterns created by each individual following hers. Any reader who's ever had the sense that something has been left out of the official story of their faith will find some treasure in the excavation projects led by these diverse authors." -- Conscience (2012, 33:3)
"This wonderfully rich collection of women's contributions to theological thinking offers an important alternative set of lenses to the simplistic options of explicit protest literature vs. silence. The very concept of theology is deepened profoundly by these examples of women's writing and lived practices over the centuries as theology is stretched to include different literary genres and different forms of life expression. A very important and original piece of work." --Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Professor of Theology, Duke Divinity School
"This passionate volume shows how believing women, in a dozen times and places, found ways to write theology despite all the prohibitions. They wrote it as lives and letters of counsel, hymns and novels and poems--stubborn testimonies of their refusal to surrender the Word. From them--from this book--Christian theologians can learn again the promises of the art they profess." --Mark D. Jordan, Harvard Divinity School
"In this volume twelve women theological writers interact with other women theological writers from across history. They reflect on the experience of women's marginalization as writers and the way women have overcome this. In many breakthrough examples we witness how women have written themselves into transformed life, health and wisdom. This is a book to be read slowly, contemplatively." --Rosemary Radford Ruether, Professor of Feminist Theology, Claremont Graduate University
The collection is both insightful and interesting; each contributor successfully articulates an appreciation of both the violent prohibitions and transformative possibilities of women writing theology. -- Emily Pennington, University of Chester -- Theological Book Review
Women, Writing, Theology is a wellspring of consolation and hope for feminist theologians. -- Susan Abraham, Harvard Divinity School -- Journal of the American Academy of Religion
