Spitting at Dragons: Towards a Feminist Theology of Sainthood Book

In this work, the questions of canonization and sainthood are examined from a feminist perspective. The author questions the wisdom of feminist theology's decision to ignore or reject the ides of saints as elitist or other-worldly. The text outlines the problem of the ways in which saints' lives have been constructed and interpreted in male-dominated societies and institutions.

The text concludes by suggesting that saints are still needed and proposes a new theology of sainthood that sets out guidelines for gaining such saints.Read More
