Sexism and Sin-Talk : Feminist Conversations on the Human Condition Paperback / softback
by Rachel Sophia Baard
Paperback / softback
Description
Early feminist theologians criticized the Christian doctrine of sin for its focus on female sexual purity and its enabling of the marginalization and oppression of women.
Others have questioned whether the entire theological category of sin should be abandoned in favor of other ways of talking about the human predicament.
In this new book, Rachel Baard argues for a feminist critique of traditional sin-talk alongside a constructive reinterpretation of the doctrine of sinone that can be life affirming for all persons.
She claims that the Christian idea of sinthat tragic flaw at the core of human experienceprovides one of the best tools for understanding the evils of sexism, patriarchy, and traditional sin-talk itself.
She likewise provides a new rhetoric of sin-talk, one that accounts for the diverse experiences of the human family, not simply those of powerful men.
