Out of the Depths: Women's Experience of Evil and Salvation

Whether understood as sin as embracing all manner of suffering and injustice or as the inexplicable human choice of evil over good evil has historically been described and pondered chiefly through male categories understood as a universal viewpoint. Likewise salvation. Gebara here presents an alternative feminist approach to evil and salvation. She allows women to voice their personal suffering from their own contexts thereby manifesting their many differences. She then introduces a perspective on evil and salvation based in gender analysis to address specifically the evil women do the evil they suffer and womens redemptive experiences of God and salvation.
