It makes a bridge between the naive prephilosophical version of crucial beliefs and current work on feminist theology which is very arcane to the outsider. Sarah's clarity of expression and her tough style of argument are a delight. It is wonderful how well these separate essays follow on one another and have so much continuity.\" \u003ci\u003eMary Douglas\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In this set of extraordinarily erudite essays Sarah Coakley shows us that not only is Christian feminism crucial for constructive Christian theology in our day, but equally important Christian feminism can and does make a contribution to non-Christian feminist thought. In Powers and Submissions Coakley draws on the riches of the Christian tradition as well as contemporary theology to challenge the tendency in modern theology to separate theology and prayer.

Indeed, the abiding impression is of a brilliant and magnanimous hostess who is given to bring together the sort of people who would not ordinarily have anything to do with each other. Like an ideal hostess, she listens generously to each and tries to construe what they say in the best possible light, but she has strong and clear views of her own, which she ultimately articulates with considerable persusive authority.\" \u003ci\u003eKhaled Anatolios, Weston Jesuit School of Theology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Anyone interested in genuine dialogue between the Christian theological and spiritual traditions and contemporary concerns will find this collection to be stimulating and very rewarding reading.\" \u003ci\u003eKhaled Anatolios, Weston Jesuit School of Theology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements. \u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrologue: Powers and Submissions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I: The Comtemplative Matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
