From Women's Experience to Feminist Theology [Hardcover]

What are the implications of adopting a primacy of praxis position in feminist theology? How can we respect the diversity of women's experience while retaining it as a useful analytic category? Do these twin resources of women's experience and praxis together imply that feminist theology is ultimately relativist? Through an analysis of the work of some of today's key feminist theologians  Christian, womanist and post-Christian  Linda Hogan considers these and other methodological questions.Linda Hoganis Vice-Provost and Chief Academic Officer and Professor of Ecumenics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
