Abstract:

This article indicates elements of systematic theology that are enriched by the influence of feminist insights. More balanced understanding of "the human" and more accurate knowledge of gender identification have an impact on theological anthropology; questioning the role of the masculine Jesus as women's savior has stimulated new christological reflection about the Christian community as "body" of Christ; the sacramentality of the church and of its rituals receives a broader meaning as women theologians explain the symbolic dimension of their participation in the life of the church. Finally, feminist theologians have triggered reconsideration of applying terms such as "father" to God. [B Cooke].
