Women And The Church

Women and the Church examines the history of Christian feminism as a response to patriarchy, the ways in which women have been portrayed in scripture and women’s hermeneutical strategies, and the seminal contributions of women to the subfields of systematic theology. Unlike many books in this genre, which are collections of essays by diverse authors, Women and the Church is written from one author’s perspective as an attempt to systematize the historic presence and absence of women in Roman Catholicism.
