Synopsis: Creating Women's Theology engages women's questions: Can
women from different religious traditions engage one theological
approach? Can one philosophical approach support feminist religious
thought? What kind of belief follows women's criticism of
traditional Christianity? Creating Women's Theology offers a
portrait of how some women have found room for faith and feminism.
For the last twenty-five years, women religion scholars have
synthesized process philosophy with their feminist sensibilities
and faith commitments to highlight the value of experience, the
importance of freedom, and the interdependence of humanity, God,
and all creation. Cutting across cultural and religious traditions,
process relational feminist thought represents a theology that
women have created. This volume offers an introduction to process
and feminist theologies before presenting selections from canonical
works in the field with study questions. This volume includes
voices from Christianity, Judaism, goddess religion, the Black
church, and indigenous religions. Creating Women's Theology invites
new generations of undergraduate, seminary, and university graduate
students to the methods and insights of process relational feminist
theology. Endorsements: "Fifty years ago Valerie Saivings noted the
congeniality between the process critique of the philosophical and
theological tradition and the insights of Christian women. This
remarkable volume shows how the work of women process theologians
and of feminists and womanists who found process categories useful
together constitute a single richly textured movement. From the
perspective of this male process theologian, this movement is today
the most promising expression of process theology. Indeed, I view
it as embodying the cutting edge of Christian theology as a whole."
--John B. Cobb Jr. Claremont Graduate School and Claremont School
of Theology "Creating Women's Theology is an important contribution
to the literature. It offers a good summary of the relation to
feminism and process theology. It also delves into some basic
questions about the universality of feminist approaches to theology
in different religious traditions. This book will be a helpful
introduction for courses in feminist theology." --Rosemary Radford
Ruether Claremont Graduate University "In its relational structure
and transtemporal movement, this book works like a society of
occasions in process should It is a beautifully aimed series of
reflective events, displaying the transgenerational trajectories of
the feminist and womanist process theologies as they have been
massively but often indirectly unfolding. By making this movement
within a movement so becomingly readable and so dialogically
explicit, by highlighting its intersections with other movements
and its internal differences, it will lure yet another generation
of thinkers into a vital conversation." --Catherine Keller Drew
