Publisher Description A New Gospel for Women tells the story of Katharine Bushnell (1855-1946), author of Gods Word to Women, one of the most innovative and comprehensive feminist theologies ever written. An internationally-known social reformer and womens rights activist, Bushnell rose to prominence through her highly publicized campaigns against prostitution and the trafficking of women in America, in colonial India, and throughout East Asia. In each of these cases,the intrepid reformer struggled to come to terms with the fact that it was Christian men who were guilty of committing acts of appalling cruelty against women. Ultimately, Bushnell concluded that Christianity itself -or rather, the patriarchal distortion of true Christianity - must be to blame.A work of history, biography, and historical theology, Kristin Kobes DuMezs book provides a vivid account of Bushnells life. It maps a concise introduction to her fascinating theology, revealing, for example, Bushnells belief that gender bias tainted both the King James and the Revised Versions of the English Bible. As Du Mez demonstrates, Bushnell insisted that God created women to be strongand independent, that Adam, not Eve, bore responsibility for the Fall, and that it was through Christ, "the great emancipator of women," that women would achieve spiritual and socialredemption.A New Gospel for Women restores Bushnell to her rightful place in history. It illuminates the dynamic and often thorny relationship between faith and feminism in modern America by mapping Bushnells story and her subsequent disappearance from the historical record. Most pointedly, the book reveals the challenges confronting Christian feminists today who wish to construct a sexual ethic that is both Christian and feminist, one rooted not in the Victorianera, but rather one suited to the modern world.
