Abstract

According to Sandra Schneiders's useful definition, feminism is a comprehensive ideology, rooted in women's experience of sexual op- pression, which engages in a critique of patriarchy, embraces an al- ternative vision for humanity and the earth, and actively seeks to bring this vision to realization.1 Feminist theology may be considered that part of this quest for justice which is concerned with critical anal- ysis and liberating retrieval of the meaning of religious traditions. In the roughly 35 years of its existence, contemporary feminist theology has produced a vast, international body of literature that ranges across all of the theological specialties and beyond. The notes that follow revisit several salient themes and debates in the area of systematic theology, although no hard and fast division obtains between this dis- cipline and feminist ethics and biblical hermeneutics.2
