Changing the Subject. Women's Discourses and Feminist Theology. By Mary McClintock Fulkerson. Minneapolis, Fortress Press, 1994. Pp. xi + 412. £13.50 (original) (raw)

Mary McClintock Fulkerson's "Changing the Subject" critiques feminist theology's treatment of language and representation, advocating for a poststructuralist approach to women's discourse. The text emphasizes the importance of respecting women's diverse faith practices and the need for a representation of women's experiences that eschews simplistic categorizations. Through the lens of intertextuality and social coding, Fulkerson argues for a rethinking of feminist theology that recognizes the ambiguity of meaning and encourages a dynamic interaction between scripture and community.
