Author: COAKLEY, SARAH.
Title: Powers and Submissions. Spirituality, Philosophy and Gender.
Description: Oxford: Blackwell, 2006. 063207368. Challenges in Contemporary Theology series. "Sarah Coakley confronts a central paradox of theological feminism - what she terms 'the paradox of power and vulnerability'..Gender theory has in recent years given an increasingly nuanced account of the worldly 'powers' that serve to stifle human flourishing..Powers and Submissions tackles the question of how these narratives of divine and human 'powers' should be disentangled. Coakley examines this issue through the lens of spiritual practice, philosophical enquiry and doctrinal analysis, arguing that contemplative practice must be the sustaining matrix of any truly liberative human empowerment."
