Download or read book Feminism, Law, and Religion written by Marie Failinger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from some of the most prominent voices writing on gender, law and religion today, this book illuminates some of the conflicts at the intersection of feminism, theology and law. It examines a range of themes from the viewpoint of identifiable traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, from a theoretical and practical perspective. Among the themes discussed are the cross-over between religious and secular values and assumptions in the search for a just jurisprudence for women, the application of theological insights from religious traditions to legal issues at the core of feminist work, feminist legal readings of scriptural texts on women's rights and the place that religious law has assigned to women in ecclesiastic life. Feminists of faith face challenges from many sides: patriarchal remnants in their own tradition, dismissal of their faith commitments by secular feminists and balancing the conflicting loyalties of their lives. The book will be essential reading for legal and religious academics and students working in the area of gender and law or law and religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Voices of Feminist Liberation' brings together a wide range of scholars to explore the work of Rosemary Radford Ruether, one of the most influential feminist and liberation theologians of our time. Ruether's extraordinary and ground-breaking thinking has shaped debates across liberation theology, feminism and eco-feminism, queer theology, social justice and inter-religious dialogue. At the same time, her commitment to practice and agency has influenced sites of local resistance around the world as well as on globalised strategies for ecological sustainability and justice. 'Voices of Feminist Liberation' examines the potential of Ruether's thinking to mobilize critical theology, social theory and cultural practice. The scholars gathered here present their personal engagements with Ruether's thinking and teaching. The book will be invaluable to scholars, policy-makers, and activists seeking to understand how colonial and patriarchal oppression in the name of religion can be confronted and defeated.

The chapters in Changing Horizons (2013) sketched a theory of liberation. Now, the consequences for a liberating praxis are evident in interviews and essays that look back over personal and movement history, look around at challenges and potentialities, and look ahead to an emancipatory future, the critical engagement with scripture always at the center.

With Women, Wisdom, and Witness, readers are invited to join their conversation.

Readers will discover the rich socio-political, interdisciplinary, and dialogical implications of Catholic women's intellectual and social praxis in contemporary theology and ethics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can't throw truth at people so that all they can do is duck. 'Monika K. Hellwig Though Monika Hellwig is well known in theological circles, what is not so widely known is how theology led her into a whole new way of life. Refugees from the Nazis, Monika and her two sisters were sent as children to live in Great Britain with an academic couple who provided them with a loving home and an excellent education. The notion of home became a central motif in Hellwig's spiritual/theological understanding of life. For fourteen years she was at home" with the Medical Mission Sisters, expecting to be assigned to Pakistan. Instead she was sent to the Catholic University of America where systematic theology and scriptural studies enlarged her intellectual horizon. That experience, together with the Second Vatican Council's emphasis on the imperative of the lay vocation, altered the course of her life. She left her religious community and enthusiastically embraced her baptismal calling. Everything that followed 'her academic work and writing, her masterful teaching within and outside the academy, her adopting three children as a single mother, her sense of responsibility to her parish and to several prayer groups 'reflects her intentional living out of the lay vocation until the moment of her death in 2005. The contributors to this first biography of Hellwig write from their intimate knowledge of some facet of her rich and challenging life. Together they create a portrait of a woman who was teacher and author, poet and administrator, a mother and a contemplative in action 'a "people's theologian" 'with whom readers will feel at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one survive in a home that's become a torture chamber, where your daily ration is fear and trauma? One does not have to subject themselves to dehumanization, but most of the time, putting a stop to it is not so simple an act. Until one can safely separate themselves or escapes, how does one cope with such an unfathomable, trauma-riddled circumstance? This is a memoir of catharsis from dehumanization to the reclamation of the dignity and integrity. It is a disclosure- a confession and reflection if you will- by a mother of five who for thirty years lived with her own terrorist and was subjected to a cycle of physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional abuse and violence. Through religion and spirituality- she manages to cope and eventually find the path to deliverance and peace of mind and heart. This disclosure is a case study, which puts a face, a mind and heart to the traumatic subjection to intimate partner violence.
