Women and Religion: A Feminist Sourcebook of Christian Thought

by Elizabeth A. Clark

Women and Religion allows for the first time an ordered, documented exploration of the evolution in Western religious thinking about women, from the early Greeks to contemporary feminist theologians. The editors' general introduction traces the overall history of this evolution, and specific introductions precede each reading, describing its importance and influence. Women and Religion is without peer as an incisive history of the relationship between Christianity and half its membership.
