The book seeks to examine the areas of values and spirituality as
expressed in the theology primarily in Europe and the USA.
Following theorists such as Foucault, Belenky and Dorothy Smith a
model for examining western culture and where the Christian
traditions sit within it is set out. It looks at how various value
systems become subjugated and that this process happens within both
the self and society. The tradition of Christianity in its first
three centuries saw women in positions of authority in some
traditions and a fluid theology which included feminine figures in
the notion of the Divine. The loss of the feminine in the divine
and women's authority in the Church went hand in hand and are
inextricable linked together. After this a male trinity dominated
theology with characteristics such as triumphalism, clarity, order,
eternality and unity. Although there has been evidence of a
feminine Wisdom tradition that has surfaced occasionally in
Christianity, this has often been more hidden and less public. The
last half of the twentieth century has seen an attempt to unearth
the hidden theological tradition. This book links this with the
rediscovery of subjugated value systems and what it might mean for
ecclesiology.
