A Theology of Becoming
Modern theological approaches to birth have been filtered through an androcentric lens, focusing more on ethical questions of contraception and abortion than on the significance of birth for what it means to be human. In the Catholic tradition, this has been influenced by doctrines and traditions surrounding Mary's virginal conception of Christ and painless birth. This Element considers the challenges posed by maternal life to ideas and theories …

Human Dignity and Rights in the Context of Gender and the Sacramental Priesthood
This paper considers the question of women’s ordination to the sacramental priesthood in the context of human dignity and rights. Differentiating between two forms of ontological or intrinsic dignity – the universal dignity of the human being made in the imago Dei , and the particular dignity of those baptised into the imago Trinitatis – it argues that the refusal of ordination to women is a violation of baptismal dignity that constitutes a refus…
Gender and Meaning in a Postmodern World
I read the articles for this special edition of Religion and Gender at a time when the issues were foremost in my mind.I had just finished teaching a six week online course on 'Understanding Gender' for Catherine of Siena College, 1 and at the time of writing I was in Lund giving a lecture at the conference 'Tradition is the New Radical: Remapping Masculinities and Femininities in Theology'. 2 The 'Understanding Gender' course has been one of the…
Rainforest Tourism, Conservation and Management
Globally rainforests are under threat on numerous fronts, including clearing for agriculture, harvesting for timber and urban expansion. Yet they have a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and providing other ecosystem services. Rainforests are also attractive tourist spaces and where they have been used as a tourism resource they have generated significant income for local communities.\n\nHowever, not all use of …
Theology after Postmodernity
This is the first book published in English to offer a Lacanian feminist reading of Thomas Aquinas. Focusing on the centrality of desire and embodiment in Thomas’s theology and Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory, it traces an overgrown path through changing configurations of God, gender, and nature from their Aristotelian formation in the medieval universities to their fragmentation in the collapse of modernity’s visions and values. Theology after Pos…
Theology After Postmodernity Divining The Void A Lacanian Reading Of Thomas Aquinas
Engaging the theology of Thomas Aquinas with the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, Tina Beattie shows how Thomism exerted a formative influence on Lacan, and how a Lacanian approach can bring new insights to Thomas's theology. Lacan makes possible a renewed Thomism which offers a rich theology of creation incarnation, and redemption.
Religions in Global Society
Peter Beyer, a distinguished sociologist of religion, presents a way of understanding religion in a contemporary global society - by analyzing it as a dimension of the historical process of globalization. Introducing theories of globalization and showing how they can be applied to world religions, Beyer reveals the nature of the contested category of ‘religion’: what it means, what it includes and what it implies in the world today. Written with …
Fragments
This article reflects upon the impossibility of providing a satisfactory account of the events of 9/11 and their aftermath. Piecing together fragments of memory and history, of poetry and literature, the author seeks to express the ways in which the attack on America and the response it provoked continue to haunt us with profound and unanswerable questions about knowledge, meaning, truth and responsibility
Catholicism, Choice and Consciousness
Despite the apparently irreconcilable conflict between ‘pro-life’ and ‘pro-choice’ activists in the abortion debate, many feminists and Catholic theologians agree that questions of consciousness, relationality and foetal development are of greater ethical significance than theological claims about the personhood of the embryo or feminist claims about women’s autonomy. This article argues that absolutist positions based on the embryo’s right to li…

Gender, Religion and Diversity
Gender, Religion and Diversity provides an introduction to some of the most challenging perspectives in the contemporary study of gender and religion. In recent years, gender and women's studies have transformed the international study of religion through their use of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural methodologies, which have opened up new and highly controversial issues, challenging previous paradigms and creating fresh fields of study. As t…
The New Catholic Feminism
It is hard to over-estimate the challenge that feminism poses to Roman Catholicism. Pope John Paul II's call for a 'new feminism' has led to the development of a Catholic theological response to the so-called 'old feminism'. The New Catholic Feminism sets up a dramatic encounter between the orthodox Catholic establishment and contemporary critical theory, including feminist theology and philosophy, queer theory, and French psycholinguistics, in o…
