Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does women's experience matter for theological inquiry? Elizabeth Johnson's premise is that it does, and that the failure of traditional Trinitarian doctrine to account for women's relationality results in a too radical distinction between God And The world. Drawing on feminist ethics and God-talk, transcendental experience, and panentheistic Trinitarian theology, she constructs an alternative relational ontology and Trinitarian female symbol. Is her integration of these multiple systems viable? More importantly, can divine and human freedom, distinction and personhood be upheld within Johnson's framework?
