O knihe
"How is the reign of God revealed through the suffering experience of women and the marginalized?" That is the question Kathleen McManus seeks to answer. She employs the Lukan image of the "bent-over-woman-standing-up-straight" as the paradigm for all who are marginalized because of gender, sexual orientation, or race. Her viewpoint arises from encounters with individuals and communities who suffer exclusion, negation, diminishment, and violence in relation to a patriarchal church in a still-patriarchal world. Engaging Edward Schillebeeckx's method of negative contrast experience, McManus explores what may be known in the space of encounter between the institutional church and these suffering "others" and draws out latent possibilities for mutual conversion and transformation. She reflects on the meaning of Schillebeeckx's insight into "the superior power of God's defenseless vulnerability" in creation and on the cross and asks what it might mean for the church to embody the vulnerable rule of God in its own structures, doctrines, symbols, and rituals.
