Abstract

Grace Jantzen proposes a new philosophy of religion from a feminist perspective. Starting with Luce Irigaray's discussion of Divine Women, she contrasts the idea of 'becoming divine' with the more traditional aim of investigating the coherence and truth of theistic doctrines. She goes on to discuss religious language and the unconcious, drawing on the work of Derrida and Levinas, and so asks the fundamental question of what consitutes religion and religions. Building on the work of a number of French feminist philosophers, she then explores the possibility of developing a new imaginary religion, one that would replace the rigid structures of the masculinist symbolic and move towards feministy pantheism.

Abstract

De positie van de vrouw in de wereldgodsdiensten staat volop in de belangstelling. Terwijl nu in de anglicaanse kerk vrouwen tot priester kunnen worden gewijd, is dat in de rooms-katholieke kerk nog steeds niet mogelijk. In het Jodendom kennen liberale gemeenten sedert een aan tal jaren vrouwelijke rabbi's. Maar in de islam, het boeddhisme en hét hindoeïsme worden vrouwen niet in staat geacht de eredienst te leiden. Wat staat er in de geschriften over de positie van de vrouw.? Hoe is daar in de traditie mee omgesprongen en wat zijn de recente ontwikkelingen en emancipatiebewegingen? Catherine Cornille laat de feiten voor zichzelf spreken; ze legt daarmee het fundament voor een discussie tussen degenen die ieder in hun eigen geloofsgemeenschap met dit thema bezig zijn. Maar ook voor allen daarbuiten geeft haar boek een informatief en inspirerend overzicht. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

This landmark work presents the most illuminating portrait we have to date of goddesses and sacred female imagery in Western culture--from prehistory to contemporary goddess movements. Beautifully written, lucidly conceived, and far-ranging in its implications, this work will help readers gain a better appreciation of the complexity of the social forces-- mostly androcentric--that have shaped the symbolism of the sacred feminine. At the same time, it charts a new direction for finding a truly egalitarian vision of God and human relations through a feminist-ecological spirituality. Rosemary Radford Ruether begins her exploration of the divine feminine with an analysis of prehistoric archaeology that challenges the popular idea that, until their overthrow by male-dominated monotheism, many ancient societies were matriarchal in structure, governed by a feminine divinity and existing in harmony with nature. For Ruether, the historical evidence suggests the reality about these societies is much more complex. She goes on to consider key myths and rituals from Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Anatolian cultures; to examine the relationships among gender, deity, and nature in the Hebrew religion; and to discuss the development of Mariology and female mysticism in medieval Catholicism, and the continuation of Wisdom mysticism in Protestanism. She also gives a provocative analysis of the meeting of Aztec and Christian female symbols in Mexico and of today's neo-pagan movements in the United States.
