Frontiers in Catholic Feminist Theology: Shoulder to Shoulder

What does it mean to be a Catholic woman with feminist commitments today and what insights can be garnered from that context? In this first attempt in a generation at a collective framework for Catholic feminist theology a group of theologians formulate a new contextual approach to and criteria for systematic theology and apply those insights as they tackle three key topics: Theological Anthropology Christology and Ecclesiology.Key to their endeavor is specific focus on contemporary discipleship a special cricitcal methodology and relationship to the Catholic Christian tradition and a specific sensitivity to academic and ecclesial hegemonies. The result in each case is an honest exploration of the tradition a contextualization of the locus in the lives of women today and an attempt at a constructive vision with which to move forward.Contributors: Susan Abraham Rosemary Carbine Teresa Delgado Elizabeth Groppe Jeanine Hill-Fletcher Elena Procario-Foley Michele Saracino and Laura Taylor.
