This innovative volume highlights the relevance of globalization
and the insights of gender studies and religious studies for
feminist theology. Beginning with a discussion of position of the
discipline at the turn of the twenty-first century, the handbook
seeks to present an inclusive account of feminist theology in the
early twenty-first century that acknowledges the reflection of
women on religion beyond the global North and its forms of
Christianity. Globalization is taken as the central theme, as the
foremost characteristic of the context in which we do feminist
theology today. The volume traces the impacts of globalization on
gender and religion in specific geographical contexts, describing
the implications for feminist theological thinking. A final section
explores the changing contents of the field, moving towards new
models of theology, distinct from both the structure and language
of traditional Christian systematic theology and the forms of
secular feminism. The handbook draws on material from several
religious traditions and every populated continent, with chapters
provided by a diverse team of international scholars.
In recent decades economic dislocation, immigration, new
architecture, and other forces have transformed the physical,
social, and even religious landscape of large cities. There
gleaming skyscrapers tower over struggling ghettos, abandoned
businesses mar upscale shopping areas, and tall-steeple churches
sometimes languish where storefront mosques thrive. Exploring the
religious significance of this new urban landscape, a group of
theologians, members of the Workgroup on Constructive Christian
Theology, traveled to select cities and found an exciting, vibrant,
and multivoiced religious spirit at work. In these essays five
leading American theologians delve deeply into the contemporary
spiritual geographies of five cities, capturing, through a mix of
personal and historical narrative, political analysis, and
theological rumination, a sense of this new sacred space and the
spirit aborning there.
