Reihe: The Basics

For most of Christian history, theology has been done primarily by men. Beginning in the early 1960s, feminists identified ways traditional theologies omitted, ignored, and vilified women’s experiences, issues, and perspectives. In the past 60 years, feminists have developed a vibrant theological tradition that is essential for a full understanding of Christian theologies. Feminist theologies engage some of the most important and controversial issues of our time, from the roles of women in society to sexuality, abortion, gender identity, and the environment. Feminist Theologies: The Basics aims to:

- Provide historical context for the development of feminist theology

- Examine feminist theological methods

- Share new and emerging feminist voices

- Focus on the feminist concept of intersectionality

- Using the idea of justice to understand feminist theologies.

With a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading throughout, this book is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a full introduction to feminist theologies as well as broader themes in theology, gender, and sexuality.
