Series: The Basics
For most of Christian history, theology has been written primarily by men. Beginning in the early 1960s, feminists identified ways traditional theologies omitted, ignored, and vilified women’s experiences, issues, and perspectives. In the past 60 years, feminists have developed a vibrant theological tradition that is essential for a full understanding of Christian theologies. Feminist theologies engage some of the most important and controversial issues of our time, from the roles of women in society to sexuality, abortion, gender identity, and the environment. Feminist Theologies: The Basics aims to:

Provide historical context for the development of feminist theology Examine feminist theological methods Share new and emerging feminist voices Focus on the feminist concept of intersectionality Using the idea of justice to understand feminist theologies.

With definitions of key terms and suggestions for further reading throughout, this book is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a full introduction to feminist theologies, as well as broader themes in theology, gender, and sexuality.

Reviews for Feminist Theologies: The Basics

""Feminist Theologies: The Basics is a concise and accessible introduction to feminist theological thought. Shaw and Kim offer an intersectional approach that challenges patriarchal assumptions while centering voices that have been marginalized historically in Christian Theology. This book invites readers into liberatory conversations about faith, justice, and inclusion—making this a vital resource for students, scholars, and those committed to transformative theological reflection."" - Emilie M. Townes, Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of Religion and Black Studies, Boston University School of Theology
