Tina Beattie has written a stunning book on the theology of woman.
Her stated objective is to discern the place of the female body in
the Christian story of salvation and she has done so from the very
heart of Christian stylisations of the female the figures of Mary
and Eve.Beattie has pursued her subject with the aid of French
psychoanalytic feminism these writers are preoccupied, as is
Catholic theology, with questions of language and symbolism. But
she deliberately puts herself at odds with neo-orthodoxy and
feminist liberal theology; she believes that theologians like von
Balthasar depart from the best Patristic tradition of Marian
theology with disastrous effect. Nor does she offer any solace to
the Marina Warners of this world in a book which is strong in
defence of classical Marian theology.She defends with passion and
theological insight not only the Virgin Birth, the Immaculate
Conception and the Assumption but also the perpetual virginity of
Mary.Virginal desire, according to Beattie, need not be seen
negatively but as an affirmation of the integrity of women's desire
before God, in a way not dependent on the phallus nor reducible to
geniality.
