ABSTRACT
A first thought that may arise in the mind of a theologian who doesn’t yet belong to the still (unfortunately) rather closed community of feminist philosophers and theologians, might be: why feminist theology? In the case of theology, after all, the key questions seem to transcend gender concerns. ‘Who is God?’, ‘What is (revealed) truth?’, ‘What means salvation?’: all these are questions, posed by both men and women with a seeking mind. It could be the case, however, that men and women have other, different accents and focuses in their answers to these questions. And as regards a feminist perspective, these specific accents are closely connected with the way in which the movement started.
