Beskrivning

Feminist practical theology has emerged in the gap between wider feminist and wider practical theology. It celebrates distinctive concerns, arguments, emphases, and questions – unafraid to re-form practical theology in shape and substance, and to guide feminist theology towards the silences and stories of human lives that some professional theologies (including those shaped by feminist commitments) sometimes overlooks. Feminist practical theology is bold in exploration of doctrinal themes in poetic and prayerful modes, characteristically collaborative and in search of alliances with other advocacy perspectives.In the UK, such commitments have been exemplified by Nicola Slee, whom this volume honours. Chapters invite readers into wide ranging conversations that flow from young women’s experiences at university, poetic practice as theology, queer priesthood, theologies of critical masculinities, women presiding in worship, Black and decolonial theologies adjacent to feminist convictions, confrontations with sexual violence, rest and rewilding, and a post-menopausal Mary. Contributors are: Al Barrett, Gavin D’Costa, Deborah Kahn-Harris, Michael N. Jagessar, Sharon Jagger, Rachel Mann, Jenny Morgans, Eleanor Nesbitt, Karen O’Donnell, Mark Pryce, Anthony G. Reddie, Ruth Shelton, Anne Phillips and Alison Wooley.

Recensioner i media

From the Shores of Silence is a unique, touching, diligent book that does justice to the vast and varied work of Nicola Slee as the driving force of the exploration of a creative theology that has the potential to move those involved in it in new and unexpected ways. It shows the true strength of genuine creativity: to move others to become creators as well. As the authors engage in more and less explicit dialogue with Slee’s work and research themes, the book indeed becomes the conversation its editors hoped it would be. The volume is moreover a testimony to the radical potential of a theology that is practiced in a community of friends, where lasting commitments enable its practitioners to emerge from behind theology’s formalities and structures and instead become attuned to the body, issues of power and the beauty of language and words.
