Abstract

Mainstream philosophy of religion often seems like a debate between two camps. In one corner, there are the defenders of theism and orthodoxy, out to show that the tenets of Christian belief can be rationally defended. In the other corner, there are the scientific-minded sceptics and atheists. The intriguing thing about Jantzen’s book—and feminist religious thought more generally—is that it elaborates a third position, a relatively fresh and distinctive way of looking at some very old debates.
