Description: In medieval thought, Mary was a virgin, a mother, a daughter, and a wife, alone of all her sex and yet also continually invoked in order to define femininity in general. Shadows of Mary analyses the figure of the Virgin Mary in medieval theological, philosophical and literary texts in order to understand how stories about her influenced the creation of female characters in both sacred and secular writing. Teresa Reed traces aspects of Marian figuration ranging from Chaucer's Constance and the Wife of Bath, to the medical woman of the English Trotula, Saint Margaret of Antioch and the Pearl maiden. She shows how the rhetorical processes through which the medieval church manifested its ideas of truth are caught up in representational anxieties surrounding the body of a woman, and in Mary's relationship with her shadow, Eve. Shadows of Mary's detailed analysis of the multiple and often contradictory roles occupied by Mary in medieval thought also opens up ways of thinking through the connections between literary representation and social practices. It offers innovative ways for using medieval studies to think through issues that have come to preoccupy contemporary studies of gender and culture.

Description: This work is the first comprehensive study of anti-Judaism in feminist religious writings. Katharina von Kellenbach provides a critical evaluation of how Judaism has been depicted in major American and West German feminist theologies, including the writings of Rosemary Radford Ruether, Carol Christ, and Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel. Applying Foucault's categories of discursive practice, von Kellenbach demonstrates that feminist theologians portray Judaism negatively in comparison to Christianity and paganism, identify it as the source of patriarchy, and render it invisible as a religious alternative after the rise of Christianity. This book calls on feminist theologians to combat the pervasive tradition of Christian anti-Judaism.

Description: Betty Maher Church in the Modern World Women As the Spirit works in our human history, one change now taking place is the awakening of vast numbers of lay people to the realization that they, too, are church. And among those people are many women. In a patriarchal church, the fact that women are finding their voices after millennia of silence has often caused difficulty. Many in authority long for the good old days"", when the laity only paid, prayed, and obeyed. This can no longer be. Lay women now recognize and accept the call to the common priesthood of all the baptized and know that in order to be true to this calling they must continue in their search to find ways of becoming full partners in the life and ministry of the church. Some, discouraged, have wearied and walked away, and the church's loss because of this immeasurable. Others endure, believing that in truth they must. From this belief, Betty Maher writes of some of the difficulties encountered by those who stay, but she also offers suggestions as to how some of those difficulties might be overcome, by honest dialogue between those in authority and those others who now, in truth and love, seek inclusion. Betty Maher lives and works in Dublin. She is a student of theology and has trained as a hospital chaplain.

Description: Between 1966 and 1981 an enormous effort has been made by the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC I) to overcome differences in the understanding and practice of the Christian Faith. Four major theological texts, based on the idea of resourcement, were published together as the Final Report in 1981. Why were the high ecumenical expectations of the seventies not fulfilled? At the same time the Anglican churches began to discuss openly the possibility of ordaining women to the priesthood. The Anglican discussion had clear repercussions for the Catholic Church. This study investigates the relations that existed between these debates and the reception of the Final Report. It pays particular attention to the developments of the understanding about authority in the Church. Authority in the Church comprises hermeneutical, foundation theological, christological and ecclesiological notions. ARCIC worked with its own conception of authority in matters of faith and order, and it proposed a certain understanding of episcopal collegiality as the corner stone for "organic union". The book infers that the debates on the ordination of women have led to developments in the understanding of authority in the Catholic Church and the Anglican Churches that diverge from what ARCIC did and proposed. The consequences for ecumenical relations between the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church are explored.
