dc.description.abstract | The book presents a polemic with the feminist critique of Christianity, in particular
with regards to the supposed androcentrism of the Christian doctrine. Accordingly, I
take into account the relation between the masculine and the feminine element within
the major areas of theological investigation, that is, in classical christology, mariology and
trinitarian theology, in biblical ontology and Christian personalism. My polemic takes
a variety of routes. Its ultimate aim is not simply to dismiss the very idea of Christian
androcentrism (the issue is too broad to be covered in a single line of argumentation).
Rather, while analyzing feminist discourse on Christianity, I argue the inadequacy of its
subject-matter and the ideological distortion of its form. That reveals in turn a considerable
communication gap between major voices of contemporary feminism (in particular,
French cultural feminism, radical and neo-orthodox feminist theology), on the one
hand, and twentieth-century classical theology and biblical exegesis, on the other. More
than once feminist discourse on Christianity constructs straw men to sustain the conflict.
In large part the argument depends on the use of spatial metaphors. References to
spatial experience, I propose, permit one to formulate, instead flexible, descriptions of
what man and woman are – in relation to each other (masculinity and femininity) and
with regards to the newly born life (fatherhood and motherhood). It is also through references
to space that one can see in an other than androcentric manner the most frequent
controversies of feminist reflection on Christianity: God the Father; historical Jesus versus
Christ the Saviour; Mary, God’s Virgin Mother; the female principle in the mythical
and theological context; Sophia (Divine Wisdom) and Three Divine Persons; and the
biblical story of woman being made out of man’s rib. Androcentrism implies the idea of
one element being prior to another. However, priority amounts to dominance nowhere
but in the static system of two antagonized elements. My argument reveals then, step by
step, where and how in feminist argumentation androcentrism is imposed on Christian
thinking rather than shown to be present in it. The major confusion seems to result from
replacing the Christian persona with the modern concept of the Subject (objectifying its Other). The concept of identity thus formulated leaves no room for the dynamic “exchange
of gifts”, and this in turn precludes the proper understanding of (fundamental to Christian
thinking) ideas of Creation and Incarnation (including the definition of the body
that these ideas imply). After all, it is the relational nature of persona (and not the antagonism
of Subject–Object) that lends meaning to the images, figures and characters that
the feminist critiques of Christianity grapple with. | pl_PL |
