"In this set of extraordinarily erudite essays Sarah Coakley
shows us that not only is Christian feminism crucial for
constructive Christian theology in our day, but equally important
Christian feminism can and does make a contribution to
non-Christian feminist thought. In Powers and Submissions Coakley
draws on the riches of the Christian tradition as well as
contemporary theology to challenge the tendency in modern theology
to separate theology and prayer. What a wonderful book. "
Stanley Hauerwas, Duke University
"Such an intense and often understated vision - rich, subtle,
and refreshing in its integrity- makes this a most unusual and very
welcome book." Michael Barnes, The Way
"There is a real delicacy of interpretation in these essays
which takes its lead from a present problematic, but which allows
itself and its own terms to be questioned by what is found in
pre-modern material." Theology
"Spanning theology, philosophy of religion, and feminist theory,
Coakley's essays have import for scholars and advanced students in
all three areas." Religious Studies Review
"Such an intense and often understated vision - rich, subtle,
and refreshing in its integrity - makes this a most unusual and
very welcome book." The Way
"...Coakley's work is exemplarily dialogue. Indeed, the abiding
impression is of a brilliant and magnanimous hostess who is given
to bring together the sort of people who would not ordinarily have
anything to do with each other. Like an ideal hostess, she listens
generously to each and tries to construe what they say in the best
possible light, but she has strong and clear views of her own,
which she ultimately articulates with considerable persusive
authority." Khaled Anatolios, Weston Jesuit School of
Theology
"Anyone interested in genuine dialogue between the Christian theological and spiritual traditions and contemporary concerns will find this collection to be stimulating and very rewarding reading." Khaled Anatolios, Weston Jesuit School of Theology
