Critical Theory of Religion

This book brings together, in an exciting and original way, the major themes of critical social theory and feminist theolgy.

In the Frankfurt School's critique of instrumental reason and domination, as well as its unwavering espousal of justice and freedom, Hewitt shows, feminist theologians may find allies in their own project
