Bodies, Lives, Voices,
a project at the critical juncture of feminism and
religious studies, participates in the vibrant tradition of the feminist
anthology. This volume is part of a broad feminist discourse that
continues to grow less monolithic and more varied in material and style
with each passing year.
The papers are divided into three main sections: "Bodies"
examines
the representation of women in sacred texts and theologies.
"Lives"
explores the fundamental need to return to women their history.
"Voices" weaves together canonical texts with contemporary
feminist
theory in order to address anew age-old philosophical and theological
problems. Together, the essays collected here share a concern for
enriching and transforming traditional representations of women's
religious lives.
