This collection of eight extended essays explores the various intersections of feminism, feminist theory and practice, and Christian tradition as it is lived out in the lives of Christian academics. The basic question informing this volume is "Can a person be Christian and feminist at the same time?" The authors aim to demonstrate that a person can, and go on to illustrate the various ways current thinkers are working this out. This collection is unique in its gathering of Christian perspectives from both Catholic and Protestant traditions.

Industry Reviews

"Jule and Pedersen have assembled an impressive and stimulating array of essays - from the autobiographical to the historical, from the pedagogical to the philosophical, from the theological to the mystical, from the familial to the biblical - that test and probe the fluid boundaries of Christian faith and feminist consciousness. The contributors to this powerful collection neither say nor sound 'the same, ' but their voices all together rise in chorus to celebrate the vibrant possibility of being feminist and being Christian." - Michael Lodahl, Point Loma Nazarene University

"This collection of essays deepens the relatively unexplored connection between feminism and Christianity in a variety of academic fields, including biblical studies, history, linguistics, literature, political science, and theology. The tenor of the volume emerges from the integration of personal experience with academic expertise." - Priscilla Pope-Levison, Seattle Pacific University
