Women in Theology

It is this idea of the limits to our understanding that I found so fascinating because it connects so well with my feminist historical theology project.
It’s the summer, the season of reading, writing, and thinking, among other things, for academics. While attempting to resurrect long-dormant writing projects in solitude, I’ve been struck by the collective nature of scholarship. For instance, an upcoming publication has been read and shaped by no less than five other individuals (excluding informal readers of earlier […]
Spoiler alert: I have tried not to include any major plot points in this review, but there are some minor spoilers. I’d recommend reading the book itself first! A tradwife influencer wakes up one morning and finds herself thrown into the life of an actual pioneer homesteader on a rustic ranch. The basic premise of […]
(Note: this post discusses sexual assault and murder as noted in scripture. Reader discretion advised.) In her text, “Locating Hebrews Within the Literary Landscape of Christian Origins,”[1] Pamela M. Eisenbaum makes a decision that caused me to revisit a familiar passage of scripture in what Eisenbaum terms the “Epistle to the Hebrews.”[2] Deciding to ascribe […]
I was reading a New York Times opinion piece recently, titled “It’s Not Normal to Raise Children Like This.” The article laments the fact that many people in the modern West lack a “village,” people with whom we can share the intricacies of daily life and on whom we can mutually depend in times of […]
Last weekend I had the joyful experience of singing Evensong at Peterborough Cathedral. Sandwiched between a stage for a Radiohead tribute band, and the cast of the world’s largest dinosaur, the Titanosaur, on loan from the Natural History Museum, the service was both bizarre and brilliant. The cast of the dinosaur is set up so […]
Last Saturday on July 4, 2026, the U.S. celebrated 250 years of independence from the British Empire. When we say 250 years of the United States of America, what we mean is that it marks 250 years from the Declaration of Independence (1776). It is a document that declared the United Colonies free and independent […]
I am a YouTube junkie. It’s always on my TV. The algorithm for YouTube takes me in many directions but what it introduced to me recently made me want to vomit. I wish I was joking but I think you might feel the same after you learn what I wish I could unlearn. As if […]
I should clarify—of course I had always believed in the equality of men and women and that women should be allowed to choose whatever career path was open to them. I didn’t think this was even a question. But I didn’t consider this feminism.
Thus, The Book of Lost Hours by Hayley Gelfuso is the first of my two recommendations for summer reading for anyone interested in the feminist historical theology project. If you want to read a novel that will provide motivation for the work of recovering and propagating of women’s theological voices in history, this is one that I would recommend.
