"What are the main aims and messages of feminist theology?"
As Rosemary Radford Ruether said, "The critical principle of feminist theology is the promotion of the full humanity of women". The factors which take away women's humanity, which have been created by Patriarchal societies, are seen as not being true representations of the divine and the nature of the world. These implications are voiced throughout the bible, in the testament both Old and New and "Uses texts according to implicit or explicit assumptions about the normative development of Biblical faith". The bible is also claimed to show how this prophetic faith denounces religious ideologies and systems that function to justify and sanctify the dominant, unjust social order. Basically Feminist Theology tries to demonstrate how women have no 'humanity' because of the patriarchal societies show within the bible, and how this sexism still occurs today because of this.
