The unexamined life may not be worth living, but the overexamined life is nothing to write home about either.

| Posted 2/9/2003 2:00 AM (GMT -6) | | Here is a good (very good) book.
"WOMEN AND THE PRIESTHOOD," Thomas Hopko, ed. Saint Vladimir's Press, Crestwood, NY
It has many authors.
It won't lead you to where Feminism does, with gender being done away with in heaven. It won't lead you to domination of women by men. These are the two poles extreems are going to in this "issue of our times." (BTW, "Women and Priesthood -- 4 words -- is a famous liberal book on the topic.)
GET THE BOOK. search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=6THJR27HRI&isbn=0881411469&itm=5
And here is an article: www.akins.org/matthew/women.html. In this particular article the author makes the revaling comment about feminist theology that:
quote:
* Feminists, as well as some noted theologians, assert that the resurrected body will be without sex or androgynous. Using the anthropology of Plato and the Gnostics, ``they claim that Adam, the first human being, was a man-woman, masculine-feminine, combination. He was the primal, androgynous being, who was split in two parts by God.''17
* The Dualist theology of many denies the salvation of the body as well as the soul. By adopting this heresy, the feminists feel free to invent their own vision of the person after the resurrection. The Church has traditionally taught that our very body, which has walked the earth, will be resurrected, and we will not loose our gender; ``our gender and our sexuality will be transfigured.''21
* By transferring the priesthood from the sacramental icon of Christ, as the Church has traditionally believed,22 to a representation of a distorted view of a ``perfect'' human, either before the Fall or after the resurrection, the supporters of the ordination of women have abandoned the vision of the Church as ``heaven on earth,'' with Christ as the High-Priest.23 The ordination of women is simply one of the logical conclusions of their disregard for the traditional understanding of worship, and ultimately the Church.
THAT'S A GOOD, AND SHORT ARTICLE TO READ.
Good luck.

Feminist theology tends to fall into the category of Liberation Theology and often focuses on deconstructing the notion that God or our referencing of God should neither be male or female. But I remember little else about feminist theology from my undergrad days....

| Posted 2/11/2003 2:09 PM (GMT -6) | | Christians for Biblical Equality is an evangelical Christian organization that advocates egalitarianism (vs. hierarchy) in church leadership and mutuality (vs. male headship) in marriage roles. They have an online bookstore full of resources on these (and other) issues. “Feminist theology” is a lot bigger category than inclusive language and issues over church leadership and marriage roles. There is a huge range of feminist theologies, and I think that the best are more broadly liberationist in their interest (as opposed to limited to just women’s issues).
One reason evangelicals should be interested in the work feminist theologians are doing is that (like evangelicals) they tend to have a robust understanding of “the priesthood of all believers” and the Spirit’s activity in gifting and empowering lay people to do God’s work in the world. I’m currently reading a book by Letty Russell called Church in the Round. She envisions Christians sharing communion at a round table, because instead of orienting toward the head of the table, everyone is equadistant from the center. Miroslav Wolf is an example of an evangelical who explicitly draws on the work of feminist theologians in formulating his ecclesiology.
Why do you ask?
