Christian Faith and Radical Equality

Abstract

“Feminist theologians … have raised issues and proposed criticisms and constructive proposals for Christian theology which cannot be ignored by any serious Christian theologian. The issues they raise are as central as one can find in constructive theology: The very nature of God and the nature of the human. … If we are to take seriously the full implications of Paul's words, ‘Neither Greek nor Jew, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female. …,’ we must all learn to listen together again and again to that command. Then, as a community, we may eventually find out concretely just what, after all, it might really mean to become a human being.”
