"Both evangelicalism and feminism are controversial movements that
provoke complex loyalties and ambivalence within the church and the
world at large. In spite of a considerable degree of shared
history, they are quite often defined against each other. Most of
the rhetoric from and about the movements assumes that there are
few connections and little overlap, and that individuals might
locate themselves within one or the other, but not within both. Yet
some evangelical women in the academy find themselves living on the
boundary between feminism and evangelicalism, or on the boundaries
between the multiple forms of both feminism and
evangelicalism."--from the first chapter What happens when
evangelicalism meets feminism? In their own biblical and
theological training, Nicola Creegan and Christine Pohl have each
lived at the intersection of these two movements They now both
teach in Christian institutions of higher education where others
follow along a similar pathway. They have a story to tell about
their experience along with those of ninety other women they
surveyed who have lived on the boundary between evangelicalism and
feminism. They explore what it was like for evangelical women who
pursued doctorates in biblical and theological studies. What were
their experiences as they taught and wrote, were mentored and
became mentors? What are the theological issues they faced, and how
did they respond? How have they negotiated professional, family and
church commitments? This well-informed, multidimensional and
sensitive narrative of women's experience will be illuminating for
anyone involved in the academic theological world.
