Daughters of Abraham Feminist Thought in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Important for a general audience interested in women & religion, this book will be especially valuable to scholars in the fields of feminist theology, comparative religion, & interfaith studies. Based on the premise that women's struggles to have their voices heard are shared throughout the monotheisms, these essays offer new insights into the traditions of three religions during the past century. Six scholars engage in dialogue with their own faith communities, reflecting on their scripture & theology in order to understand the process by which women have been constrained within the patriarchal teachings of the religion. Looking at texts long utilized to keep women within boundaries, they open up the scriptures & traditions to a feminist interpretation of the historical teachings of their faiths.Haddad, Yvonne Yazbeck is the author of 'Daughters of Abraham Feminist Thought in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam' with ISBN 9780813021034 and ISBN 0813021030.
