Four Day Intensive
(30 Sep-1 Oct, 3-4 Oct)

Rev Dr Christy Capper, Professor Katharine Massam & Rev Assoc Prof Monica Melanchthon

Discover the layers and variations of meaning in the term “feminist” and explore a range of contemporary social issues using approaches from feminist theologies. This interdisciplinary unit surveys the history of feminism as a term and charts the increasing significance of feminism in Christian theological discourse since the 1980s, as well as resistance to it. It pays particular attention to the intersection of feminism with other theologies of liberation, against structures of oppression. With a grounding in the significance of feminist methods, hermeneutics and approaches to reading and interpreting Scripture, and the consequent impact on feminist theologising, analysis of Christian doctrine, and the understanding of Christian tradition and liturgical life, you will be equipped to examine the actual and potential contribution of feminist insights to shaping nuanced and vibrant theological perspectives.
