Thealogy and Embodiment: The Post-Patriarchal Reconstruction of Female Sacrality (Feminist Theology S.)

Thealogy and Embodiment: The Post-Patriarchal Reconstruction of Female Sacrality (Feminist Theology S.)

by Melissa Raphael (Author)

Synopsis

Thealogy and Embodiment' both analyses and contributes to spiritural feminism's postmodern construction of the female body as a metaphor and medium of divine generativity. Addressing religious studies and women's studies students and all those interested in contemporary spirituality, Raphael counters reformist feminism's recurrent criticism of goddess feminism as naively essentialist and sub-political. She presents spiritual feminism as a set of religio-political manoeuvres that powerfully resist such patriarchal degradations of female/natural generativity as environmental destruction, weight-reducing diets, and menstrual taboos.
