Book Synopsis White Women's Christ and Black Women's Jesus by : Jacquelyn Grant
Download or read book White Women's Christ and Black Women's Jesus written by Jacquelyn Grant. This book was released on 1989. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christology is especially problematic for feminists. Because Jesus was undeniably male and because the Christian church claims him as the unique God-bearer, feminist christology confronts the dual tasks of explaining the significance of a male God-bearer for women and creating a christological model adequate to feminist experience. Jacquelyn Grant rehearses the development and challenges of feminist christology and argues that, because it has reflected the experience of White women predominantly, it fails to speak to the concerns of non-white and non-western women. In response to this failure, Grant proposes a womanist theology and christology that emerge from and are adequate to the reality of contemporary Black women.

Book Synopsis Jesus: Miriam's Child, Sophia's Prophet by : Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza
Download or read book Jesus: Miriam's Child, Sophia's Prophet written by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza. This book was released on 2015-11-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus: Miriam's Child, Sophia's Prophet Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza makes a unique contribution to two quite different discussions of Jesus the Christ. On the one hand, she looks at biblical christology from a critical feminist perspective in the tradition of liberation theology. On the other, she examines the feasibility of a feminine christology by considering such problems as Christian anti-Judaism, ideological justification of domination, religious exclusivism and the formation of patriarchal identity. Re-imagining the Jesus movement in a feminist key transcends the boundaries set by history, gender and doctrine. By assessing various Jesus traditions and interpretations in terms of whether they can engender liberating visions for today, Schüssler Fiorenza seeks to challenge and transform a Christianity dominated by masculinity and exclusivist theological frameworks so that it offers a vision of justice and well-being for all, the central image in which is the reign, the coming world, of God. This Cornerstones edition features a new extended introduction which takes into account the developments in the field since the work was originally published in 1994.

Book Synopsis Feminist Reconstructions of Christian Doctrine by : Kathryn Greene-McCreight
Download or read book Feminist Reconstructions of Christian Doctrine written by Kathryn Greene-McCreight. This book was released on 2000-03-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between feminist theology and classical Christian theology? Is feminist theology "Christian," and if so, in what respect and to what extent? This study seeks to analyze and evaluate the relation of feminist "reconstructions" to traditional Christian teaching. Greene-McCreight uses the extent to which the biblical depiction of God is allowed to guide theological hermeneutics as a test of orthodoxy. She looks at the writings of a wide range of contemporary feminist theologians, discusses their doctrinal patterns, and demonstrates how the Bible is used in undergirding their theological reconstructions.
