Public Theology is a rapidly growing international field of study
which focuses on how Christian belief and practice engage with
wider social issues. Yet, whilst the ultimate concern of public
theology is the well-being of society, this body of theology has
largely developed without integrating the thinking of feminist
theology and its insights into womens' lives and experience. Public
Theology and the Challenge of Feminism argues that public theology
risks re-inscribing traditional constructs of public and private,
civic and domestic, and uncritical notions of gender and the work
and worth of people. The book brings together both theory and case
material to expose how public theology has actively downplayed or
ignored feminist perspectives and to reveal how constructive
feminism can be for the future of public theology.

'Resurrecting Erotic Transgression' presents a feminist theological
methodology based on the work of Julia Kristeva. This methodology
provides the means for 'subjecting ambiguity', bringing to theology
a recognition of the multiplicity of language and identity. A
method of 'poetic reading' is proposed with a three stage process:
articulation of the dualities present in and around a focal
discourse; subversion of these dualities through a range of
strategies; and the re-presentation of the discourse emphasising
its ambiguous nature. The hermeneutical method of 'poetic reading'
is explored in relation to three biblical texts and an image of the
'otherness' of God as whore.
Resurrecting Erotic Transgression presents a feminist theological
methodology based in the poststructuralism of Julia Kristeva (b.
1941). This methodology provides the means for subjecting ambiguity
or bringing into human communication (including theology) a
recognition of the multiplicity of language and identity. Such
recognition arises from sustained attention to the otherness or
alterity of language and subjectivity. This attention produces an
ambivalent enjoyment (jouissance) of the shattering of the idea of
identity as unitary and singular, and an overturning of the effect
of extant dualities in language and identity. A method of poetic
reading is proposed with a three stage process: articulation of the
dualities present in and around a focal discourse; subversion of
these dualities through a range of strategies; and the
re-presentation of the discourse emphasising its ambiguous nature.
Kristeva's account of poetic language identifies a form of writing
that precipitates jouissance. The concept of poetic language is
appropriated for the claim that jouissance might also be the
outcome of the reproduction or interpretation of discourse (i.e.
reading), as well as of d
