Description: In the early years of contesting patriarchy in the academy and religious institutions, feminist theology often presented itself as a unified front, a sisterhood. The term "feminist theology," however, is misleading. It suggests a singular feminist purpose driven by a unified female cultural identity that struggles as a cohesive whole against patriarchal dominance. Upon closer inspection, the voice of feminist theology is in fact a chorus of diverging perspectives, each informed by a variety of individual and communal experiences, and an embattled scholarly field, marked by the effects of privilege and power imbalances. This complexity raises an important question: How can feminist theologians respect the irreducible diversity of women's experiences and unmask entrenched forms of privilege in feminist theological discourse?
In Feminist Theology and the Challenge of Difference, Margaret D. Kamitsuka urges the feminist theological community to examine critically its most deeply held commitments, assumptions, and goals-especially those of feminist theologians writing from positions of privilege as white or heterosexual women. Focusing on women's experience as portrayed in literature, biblical narrative, and ethnographic writing, Kamitsuka examines the assumptions of feminist theology regarding race and sexuality. She proposes theoretical tools that feminist theologians can employ to identify and hopefully avoid the imposition of racial or sexual hegemony, thus providing invaluable complexity to the movement's identity, and ultimately contributing to current and future Christian theological issues.
Blending poststructuralist and postcolonial theoretical resources with feminist and queer concerns, Feminist Theology and the Challenge of Difference makes constructive theological proposals, ranging from sin to christology. The text calls feminist theologians to a more rigorous self-critical approach as they continue to shape the changing face of Christian theological discourse.

Description: The biblical story of Ruth is a woman's story about a woman's life. Though written thousands of years ago, it is nonetheless perennial. It calls us to reflect in every generation on what it means to be a whole woman, a spiritual woman. In THE STORY OF RUTH Joan Chittister and John August Swanson reclaim this powerful biblical story as a model for contemporary women seeking a fully spiritual life.

Through complementary texts and illustrations, Chittister and Swanson explore a series of twelve defining moments in every woman's life--moments of loss, change, transformation, aging, independence, respect, recognition, insight, empowerment, self-definition, invisibility, and fulfillment. Each chapter and each piece of artwork together illuminate the faithful life of Ruth in relation to these formative moments and lend insights into what it means to be a woman of God today.

A lovely combination of art and text, THE STORY OF RUTH provides valuable help for women seeking wholeness in a world still struggling with issues of faith and gender.

Description:

Women have fallen in love with Jesus and learned to live in love with Him, now it's time to study the depths of that love.  Based on the Gospel of John, this study explores the seven descriptions of Jesus as:

  • The Word
  • The Bridegroom
  • The Bread of Life
  • The Lion of Judah
  • The Resurrection and the Life
  • The Vine
  • The Redeemer 

These seven parallel portraits of Christ are also found in the book of Hosea.  It is by studying the richness of these descriptions found in both the Old and New Testaments that our understanding increases and our love deepens in a more meaningful way.

Forever in Love with Jesus will be accompanied by the simultaneous release of an in-depth workbook that has additional insights and questions for personal and group study.  A video curriculum is scheduled to release in 2005.

Dee and Kathy are fast becoming known for their unique style of presentation in both writing and live presentations.  Beth Moore says, God is using Dee and Kathy in a revival happening in the hearts of countless women.  He is stirring the flame of fiery love through His Word--their Falling in Love with Jesus Trilogy has the rare blend of sacred romance and earthly relevance.
