By all accounts, feminist theology is at a crossroads. Even as long-standing consensus wanes that women's experience is the source and norm of feminist theology, the specific and often contradictory experience ofdifferent groups are now highlighted, and new theoretical frameworks are emerging. This landmark volume explores central issues of female subjectivity and feminist identity, gender andembodiment, tradition and norms, and their impact on theology. Leading thinkers in this new generation offeminist theologians rethink the central claims of feminist theology and offer proposals for the future.
