Paperback. This yearbook is based on the papers presented at the 2003 International Conference of the European Society for Women in the Theological Research, held in the Netherlands. The theme of that conference was "Holy Texts: Authority and Language," a theme which addresses one of the key issues of feminist theology: how the holy texts of religious traditions, which are predominantly masculine in language and imagery, can have authority in the lives of contemporary women and men. The papers collected in the Yearbook document the many ways in which this problem has been addressed by feminist scholars in the last thirty years, and chart the new ways in which feminist theologians and theoreticians are now addressing these questions - in hermeneutics, but also in Systematic and Historical Theology, and in praxis: in liturgy and in teaching. Based on the papers presented at the 2003 International Conference of the European Society for Women in the Theological Research, the papers collected in this yearbook chart the ways in which feminist theologians and theoreticians address the questions - in hermeneutics, in Systematic and Historical Theology, in praxis, in liturgy and teaching.
