Women in Christ: Toward a New Feminism

These chapters articulate an integral philosophical and theological understanding of persons that moves beyond patriarchy on the one hand and traditional feminism on the other. Central to the new perspective offered here is the biblical revelation of the human person – man and woman – in Christ, a vision that directs women beyond the male standard against which they have too often been measured. Far from constraining women to an eternal essence, the dynamic view presented here encourages each woman to realize herself in perfect Christian freedom.
