Christian Doctrine and the Grammar of Difference

Theology

“The discipline of systematic theology has not been particularly hospitable to the questions raised by feminist theologians. In this ambitious and wide-ranging study, Janice McRandal argues for a deep inner convergence between contemporary feminist theology and the grammar of Christian doctrine. Her conclusions should provoke a fresh evaluation of the place of feminist discourse within the systematic study of the Christian faith.” —Benjamin Myers Charles Sturt University, Sydney “It is fascinating to follow how Janice McRandal sorts, questions, affirms, and turns her resources in this contribution to ‘feminist systematic theology.’ Her reflections make for an exciting read…”

Interdependence

Theology

“HyeRan Kim-Cragg is an expert guide to feminist and postcolonial practical theology. Grounded in lived situations and ranging across various contemporary theological challenges, this excellent book is at once exciting, complex, adventurous, and careful—and much to be commended. Interdependence shows the promise of postcolonial practical theology. Both wide ranging in its concerns and kept close to lived situations, it is an ideal primer in (or manifesto for) contemporary practical theology that should not be missed!”

Theology of the Open Table

Theology

“This fascinating cross-cultural theology tackles controversy in eucharistic practice and thought, confronting the tradition with two contemporary pluralistic contexts: Korea and Australia. Important as it is for understanding the migrations of Reformed Christianity as for sacramental and liturgical theologians across an ecumenical range, this work deserves to be widely read. I commend it warmly.”
