Description:

Examines the areas of values and spirituality as expressed in the theology primarily in Europe and the USA. This work looks at how various value systems become subjugated and that this process happens within both the self and society. It also links hidden theological tradition with subjugated value systems and what it might mean for ecclesiology.

Synopsis:

Early Christianity saw women in positions of authority and a fluid theology that included feminine figures in the notion of the Divine. However, for centuries a male trinity has dominated theology with the characteristics of triumphalism, clarity, order, eternality and unity. Unconventional Wisdom examines the attempt within the last half of the twentieth century to unearth the hidden theological tradition of feminine Wisdom. The book presents the work of influential theorists, notably Foucault, Belenky and Dorothy Smith. The recovery of the feminine in the divine is linked with the rediscovery of subjugated value systems and what this might mean for ecclesiology.
