The Woman Will Overcome the Warrior A

This book is an analysis of and response to the feminist theology of Rosemary Radford Ruether. It covers her theological methodology by focusing on her approach to tradition, experience, and normativity. It also discusses her analysis of the origin, nature and development of patriarchy, and her approach to key topics in systematic theology such as anthropology, evil, mariology, ecclesiology, Christology, nature, eschatology, and God. The unifying focus of this wide-ranging study is the relationship between Ruether's feminist and Christian commitments. The author's ideas on what it means to develop a feminist theology in a distinctively Christian way (and a Christian theology in a distinctively feminist way) are worked out in the same areas of systematic, philosophical and biblical theology in which Ruether's thought is analyzed. Co-published with the Institute for Christian Studies.
