The Women's Christian Theology Reader

"This groundbreaking reader challenges the absence of female voices in traditional surveys of Christian theology. Drawing exclusively from texts authored by women, this anthology provides a comprehensive introduction to the contributions of women theologians from every era. It defies the notion of a single "woman's perspective" by including diverse voices from feminist, womanist, Eastern Orthodox, Pentecostal, traditional Roman Catholic, and Evangelical traditions. Through a range of literary genres and registers of voice, including hymnody, autobiography, poetry, and more, students will be able to engage with theology in a way that reflects the lived texture of Christian experience. Each chapter features visual art by women artists, alongside commentary from the editors. With commissioned essays from notable women theologians and cross-referenced connections, this reader fosters a living and ongoing theological conversation. Addressing the need for inclusive theological education, The Women's Theology Reader provides a vital resource for students and instructors, amplifying the voices of women throughout Christian history."--
