Theology and Philosophy

Theology is a site of social discourse that generates many of the most influential statements about the identity, roles, and agency of women. Feminist philosophy of religion analyses expressions of metaphysical belief about women. Recent discussions include several forms of Feminist and/or Liberation Theology which involve critical reflections on gender, poverty, race, and global politics in the Kin(g)dom of God. Listed are sample holdings available through the RU Libraries system.
