✦ Synopsis

What is feminist theology, how did it start, where are its roots,
what are its vision and goals and why is it needed? This, in a
nutshell, is the scope of this book. Any discussion of religions and
religious doctrines and their tenets is a discussion about change
and transformation, the re-think, the metanoia of which the
Gospels speak. For change is a human experience, a reality
manifest in everybody's life. Expressing our understanding of
God and of our linked relationship with God is a task every generation
has to do afresh in order to reach some understanding of
the spiritual aspect of reality. Therefore our understanding of
God in relationship to humankind cannot be frozen in time,
defined by unchangeable dogma and doctrine; it has to be
explored and anchored in our lives, according to the reality of
our lives.
