The Nature and Role of Woman in Augustine and Thomas Aquinas

Subordination and Equivalence

Emanuela Prinzivalli

La colección "La Biblia y las mujeres" inaugura la sección dedicada a "Los Padres de la Iglesia". Su estudio se extiende desde los orígenes cristianos hasta comienzos del siglo VII y comprende obras y autores de lengua griega, latina y siríaca. Investiga la mirada de los autores cristianos antiguos hacia las mujeres y lo femenino a través del prisma de la Biblia. La exégesis de las Escrituras se utiliza para crear la plataforma doctrinal de los modelos de género que se hicieron normativos prácticamente hasta el día de hoy. No obstante, el volumen reserva interesantes sorpresas, inesperadas desviaciones y abre pistas de pensamiento que desafían normas y presupuestos.

An international collection of ecumenical, gender-sensitive interpretations The latest volume in the Bible and Women series examines the relationship between women and the Bible's reception in the centuries of the High and Late Middle Ages in Europe. Contributors bring a variety of new insights to questions of how women of the Bible were treated in literary, mystical, and doctrinal texts as well as in art and music. Though the Bible was used to legitimize the subordination of women to men and to exclude them from power, during this period women produced works of theology and biblical interpretation. Contributors include Gemma Avenoza, Marina Benedetti, Dinora Corsi, Maria Laura Giordano, Elisabeth Gössmann, Maria Leticia Sánchez Hernández, Hildegund Keul, Linda Maria Koldau, Martina Kreidler-Kos, Rita Librandi, Gary Macy, Constant J. Mews, Magda Motté, Rosa María Parrinello, María Isabel Toro Pascua, Claudia Poggi, Carmel Posa, Marina Santini, Valeria Ferrari Schiefer, Andrea Taschl-Erber, Adriana Valerio, and Paola Vitolo.

Gender Models in Judaeo-Christian Tradition

The Image of God

Kari Vogt

In this collection of articles, Kari Elisabeth Borresen and Kari Vogt point out the convergence of androcentric gender models in the Christian and Islamic traditions. They provide extensive surveys of recent research in women's studies, with bio-socio-cultural genderedness as their main analytical category. Matristic writers from late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance are analyzed in terms of a female God language, reshaping traditional theology. The persisting androcentrism of 20th-century Christianity and Islam, as displayed in institutional documents promoting women's specific functions, is critically exposed.

Women’s Studies of the Christian and Islamic Traditions

K. Vogt

In this collection of articles, Kari Elisabeth Børresen and Kari Vogt point out the convergence of androcentric gender models in the Christian and Islamic traditions. They provide extensive surveys of recent research in women's studies, with bio-socio-cultural genderedness as their main analytical category. Matristic writers from late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance are analysed in terms of a female God language, reshaping traditional theology. The persisting androcentrism of 20th-century Christianity and Islam, as displayed in institutional documents promoting women's specific functions, is critically exposed. This volume presents a pioneering investigation of correlated Christian and Islamic gender models which has hitherto remained uncompared by women's studies in religion. This work will serve scholars and students in the humanistic disciplines of theology, religious studies, Islamic studies, history of ideas, Medieval philosophy and women's history.
