Feminist Theological Methodology: Toward a Kaleidoscopic Model

Abstract

In feminist theology the theoretical subject of method is a relatively recent enterprise. Because of the multiplicity of approaches, the variety of sources, and the complexity of norms, a viable schema is needed to consider the pluriformity and particularity of the mystery of God and the God-world relationship in dialogue with the unity and diversity of women's experiences. A kaleidoscopic model may prove responsive to the challenge of feminist theology and applicable to the broader enterprise.
