hampson looks at the questions I avoid

Daphne Hampson, in this follow-up to Theology and Feminism, has the guts to look at many questions that I avoid. Being both a feminist and a Christian, I often pick up the questions she raises, and I quickly set them down before they shake the foundations of my spiritual life too deeply. I am impressed at her ability to stare at the deep dark well of incompatability between self-love as a woman, and the love of a masculizined tradition. She lets down the bucket, and draws up some refreshing conclusions. It is certainly heartening to read her as a guide to thought *after* Chrisitianity. I so often come to that door and refuse to open it; hence, I had the opportunity to follow her over that difficult threshold, and found myself convinced of the rightness of the questions she asks---and that have lingered in my heart for years.Great, if not challenging, book!
