Description: This book draws Soren Kierkegaard and Luce Irigaray
into conversation on the nature and ethics of sexual difference.
While these two initially seem like doubtful dialogue partners, the
conversation between them yields a rich and compelling account of
intersubjectivity between man and woman--an account that moves
beyond the limited and tired debate over egalitarianism vs.
complementarianism. Through engagement with Irigaray and
Kierkegaard, this book develops a constructive, theological ethics
of sexual difference that focuses on an epistemological and
subjective gap that sets man and woman at a decisive distance from
each other. They are a mystery to each other. Yet it is also an
ethical framework that allows woman and man to encounter one
another in ways that respect the independence, subjectivity, and
becoming of each. Above all, this is a theological ethics of sexual
difference that centers on Jesus Christ, who is defined as the
middle term in every relationship and whose love command defines
the encounter between man and woman in difference.
