The doctrine of the Trinity poses a series of problems for feminist
theology. At a basic level, the androcentric nature of trinitarian
language serves to promote the male as more fully in the image of
God and as the archetype of humanity, pushing women to the margins
of personhood. It is no surprise then that feminist scholarship on
this doctrine has often focused on what's wrong with the Trinity,
setting out the problems raised by the use of traditional
androcentric trinitarian language. This book brings together a
discussion of feminist theological methodology with a critical
exploration of the doctrine of the Trinity. Focussing on what's
right with the Trinity as opposed to what's wrong with the Trinity,
it considers the usefulness of this doctrine for feminist theology
today. It replaces a stress on trinitarian language with an
emphasis on trinitarian thought, exploring how we might effectively
think rather than speak God in light of feminist concerns. In
particular, it asks how a trinitarian understanding of God might
support, and be supported by, key values which underpin a feminist
way of doing theology, specifically values which underpin the
methodological use of women's experience in feminist theology. The
central argument is that thinking God as Trinity need not serve to
reinforce patriarchal values and ideals but may in fact promote the
subjectivity and personhood of women.
