Teologie di genere, un appello esigente

Abstract

This article aims to clarify that there is no such thing as a ‘feminine theology’, but a complex panorama, in which women, with their particular differences, take the floor as subjects. Though recent in academic terms, gender theologies have a long history and have developed in such a way as to draw attention to how a culture signifies and symbolizes to show that the accomplisment of the Kingdom of God relies on the quality of inter-human relational bonds. With a distant masculinity, then surreptitiously made into a universal paradigm, and with a model of femininity that oscillates between Eve and Mary, the theological world shows itself to be manifestly disturbed: there is a desperate need for an inclusive way to talk about God.
