Sexing the Author: Can a Man Write Feminist Theology?

Abstract Feminist theorists and theologians have provided new possibilities for examining the issue of body and text in sacred story, especially by valuing particularity so that different people and their narratives in their local and specific natures may attend to one another relationally. However, this suggests that such readings depend upon the local and specific nature of the reader or interpreter. What happens, then, when the insights provided by feminist theology inform the inquiries of a male theologian? Does the theology remain feminist? Is the feminist quality of any writing dependent on its author, or on the concepts involved? Asking such questions about a theological appropriation of voice also leads us to reflect on the place of feminist theology in the discipline overall. Drawing from these reflections, this paper considers what kind of imagination is at the heart of studying theology.
