"How is the reign of God revealed through the suffering experience
of women and the marginalized?" That is the question this book
seeks to answer. It employs the Lukan image of the
"bent-over-woman-standing-up-straight" as the paradigm for all who
are marginalized because of gender, sexual orientation, or race. It
arises from encounters with individuals and communities who suffer
exclusion, negation, diminishment, and violence in relation to a
patriarchal church in a still-patriarchal world. Engaging Edward
Schillebeeckx's method of negative contrast experience, Kathleen
McManus explores what may be known in the space of encounter
between the institutional church and these suffering "others" and
draws out latent possibilities for mutual conversion and
transformation. This book reflects on the meaning of
Schillebeeckx's insight into "the superior power of God's
defenseless vulnerability" in creation and on the cross, and asks
what it might mean for the church to embody the vulnerable rule of
God in its own structures, doctrines, symbols, and rituals.
