Description
After Christianity by Margaret Daphne Hampson explores the relationship between human awareness of God and the Christian myth. The author argues that the myth is untenable due to its lack of historical evidence, and that it has been used to justify an immoral patriarchal order. Hampson examines the Judaeo-Christian tradition from a feminist perspective, analyzing key concepts such as the nature of God, the creation of woman, and traditional understandings of sin, salvation, sacrifice, and covenant. She also discusses how these concepts have had devastating consequences for women. In this thought-provoking work, Hampson undertakes an original piece of constructive systematic theology, seeking to develop a spirituality that is both true to evidence and aligned with the moral imperative of human equality.
