Abstract
This article will examine the difficulties involved in female embodiment facing as it does negativity from Church Fathers to philosophers and psychologists. The female body is hardly ever just allowed ‘to be’. I will argue that placed within the frame of radical incarnation and the dismissal of dualistic metaphysics gives the female body the freedom to be and further places those who would deny the freedom in the realm of those who commit blasphemy and not simply patriarchal misogynists.
期刊介绍:
This journal is the first of its kind to be published in Britain. While it does not restrict itself to the work of feminist theologians and thinkers in these islands, Feminist Theology aims to give a voice to the women of Britain and Ireland in matters of theology and religion. Feminist Theology, while academic in its orientation, is deliberately designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers, whether theologically trained or not. Its discussion of contemporary issues is not narrowly academic, but sets those issues in a practical perspective.
