This book explores, and interacts with, the wide range of feminist christologies that we see across the globe. The feminist critique of religion and theology has yielded many outcomes in relation to the person of Jesus who moves from being the once and for all saviour of the world to lover, friend, ground of being or shaman amongst other things. The book considers whether there will be a place for christology in future feminist engagement with theology.

God has assumed a significant role in the sex lives of believers. It is God who decrees which types of sexual expression are permitted, and which forbidden. Through the Church, a patriarchal sexual landscape has been enacted to control sexual bodies which exerts its influence even in our secular culture.
