     As someone who struggled to get feminist theology taken seriously in
Cambridge in the 1980s, I was delighted to find that this volume contains lectures
delivered in a series called "women's voices in theology" which began almost ten
years ago, and is clearly still going strong.  This series continues to offer a platform
for the wide range of disciplines and interests which cluster under the broad
umbrella of feminist theology….
     Extremely illuminating work continues to emerge from the interface between
gender studies and both biblical studies and church history.  Feminist theology
continues to engage in a competent and often original way with the "high theory" of
philosophy and social theory.

-- Linda Woodhead Lancaster University, Theology (July-August) 1999.

                                                                          

This scholarly feminist anthology offers essays on several topics where feminist
thinking casts new light on old thinking and writing...As with any anthology,
readers are drawn to some topics more than others, but all will be rewarded with
well-researched material to aid them in the never-ending task of seeking to be
informed feminists.


--  Ann A. Estill, Women's Concerns: Tending the Sacred Garden, Spring 1999.
