Conducted in seminar style, Readings in Feminist Theology is based around primary texts. While the unit contextualises readings in the corpus of work of their authors, it is focused on intensive engagement with representative texts that mark focal figures’ major contributions to feminist theology in different global contexts. To order the exploration of the theologians’ work, special attention will be given to two tropes in their work: Christology and leadership in Christian community.
