Introducing Asian Feminist Theology

Rear cover notes: "Asian women comprise more than a quarter of the world's population, and the forms in which they express feminist theology are many and varied. Introducing Asian Feminist Theology surveys the social, political, and cultural contexts of the experinces of Asian women in theology, the interpretation of the Bible, and the appropriation of Asian religious traditions. Kwok Pui-lan then offers Asian women's critiques of the patriarchal church and outlines the search for a new spirituality that expresses women's embodiedness and sexuality."
