Asks what sorts and sources of knowing we should consider
compelling as we seek to live morally responsible lives. Contends
that Martin Luther's theology of the cross provides a solid
theological and ethical basis for a surprisingly congenial
conversation with feminist thought and scholarship on these issues.
Few feminist philosophers would expect to find a resonant dialog
partner in the sixteenth-century theologian and reformer Martin
Luther. This book contends, however, that Luther's theology of the
cross, in its critique of both official theology and human
pretension, its announcement of God's incarnate solidarity with
humankind and the value of embodied experience, and its intention
to equip humans to "use reality rightly", provides a solid
theological and ethical basis for a surprisingly congenial
conversation.
The "epistemology of the cross" that emerges from the
conservation between secular feminist thought and Luther's theology
of the cross raises and responds to the essential epistemological
questions of power, experience, objectivity, and accountability. It
helps us as people of privilege to overcome our resistance to
knowing the reality of suffering, a reality we need to recognize if
we are to respond to it, bear with it, and seek to overcome it.
Solberg describes the movement from lived experience to "compelling
knowledge: " seeing what is the case, recognizing one's implication
in it, and responding accountably.
"The topic is of clear and present significance. Suffering and
atonement are hot topics in the worlds of feminist theology;
epistemology and agency are hot topics in the world of feminist
philosophy. I know a lot of feminist theologians and ethicists who
arereading feminist philosophy and wondering how to integrate it
into a theological framework that is not post-Christian. This book
would be enormously helpful to them, both substantively and
methodologically". -- Martha Ellen Stortz, Pacific Luther
