Description

This text argues that the Christian "myth" can be regarded as neither true nor moral: Christian doctrines are unhelpfully "masculinist", whilst the way that women are portrayed by Christianity is nothing more nor less than a figment of the male imagination. The author nevertheless proposes creative possibilities for the future, and looks to feminist theory for ways in which the Christian message might be re-conceptualized for people who are open to the experience of God and of spirituality. The author describes a systematic theology for our times, directed towards those many people who feel compelled to discard the Christian story, but who would nonetheless be spiritual persons. This reissue features a new introduction in which the author responds to a number of her critics, and attempts to place her work in the context of what is happening in both theology and the church more widely. The book should be of interest to: students of Christianity, especially of feminist theology and of modern Christian thought; some feminist philosophers, especially those interested in continental philosophy and the work of Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray; and interested general readers, especially those in the Sea of Faith network and Cupitt-ian post-Christian camp.
