Christian Doctrine and the Grammar of Difference argues that the most
potent and resourceful theological response to the challenging
questions of gender and difference is to be found in a retrieval of a
doctrinal framework for feminist theology. In particular, it is
suggested that a doctrinal narrative of creation, fall, and
redemption—underpinned by the doctrinal grammar of the
Trinity—provides resources to resolve the theological impasse of
difference in contemporary feminist theology. The divine economy
reveals a God who enters into history and destabilizes fixed binaries
and oppressive categories. The biblical narrative discloses a subtle
yet potent fluidity to the Triune relationships. As created
subjects—precisely in our difference—we are sustained, affirmed,
and drawn back into the Triune life. The subtleties of divine
transgression are already recognized in the patterns of the liturgy,
in prayer, and in practices of contemplation. Here, bodies not only
encounter the transgressive love of God but are enabled to inhabit
their differentiated humanity with distinctiveness and grace.
