The Effects Of Women’S Experience On Their Spirituality, Sandra Marie Schneiders

Jesuit School of Theology

Whatever else the feminist movement may have accomplished, it has established the fact that Western society, including the Christian church, is male-dominated.(1) Some are convinced that this state of affairs corresponds to the divine plan of God.(2) Others, both men and women, are convinced that the God of Judeo-Christian revelation calls us to liberate ourselves and one another from what can only be called the shackles of sexism, as we are to liberate ourselves from racism, anti-Semitism, and every other form of human oppression.(3) In this article I am not concerned primarily with the fact of this male dominance, nor …

Jesuit, Catholic Higher Education: Some Tentative Theses, Michael J. Buckley S.J.

Religious Studies

In the pages that follow, I have tried to suggest certain reflections around the general and troubled topic of the Jesuit, Catholic university. I do so because I suspect that a central problem for many administrators of such institutions lies within the vagueness or even chaotic understanding of this governing issue: what it is that they are administering. What do you mean by a "Jesuit university"?. Is it basically the same sort of thing that any Catholic university is--something clear enough in purpose, however imperfect in realization; but at the same time something variant, in that the Jesuit university is …

New Testament Foundations For Preaching By The Non-Ordained, Sandra Marie Schneiders

Jesuit School of Theology

The question of the bearing of New Testament material on the issue of preaching by the non-ordained is both very important and very complex. Unless we formulate the question itself with great precision, we risk a discussion that might be edifying, even illuminating, but, in the long run, useless in dealing with the urgent pastoral problem that gave rise to this colloquium, namely, the need to ground, biblically and theologically, the extension of the ministry of liturgical preaching to the nonordained.

Consequently, in the first part of this paper I will attempt to clarify the question itself, as I understand …

Aliabad Women: Revolution As Religious Activity, Mary E. Hegland

Faculty Publications

An apparent paradox of the Iranian Revolution has been the tremendous participation of Iranian women in the revolution, in terms of the numbers of women who were active in demonstrations, contrasted to the subsequent setbacks in the position of women in Iran and their decreasing participation in public life. In this chapter, I argue that the great majority of women participating in the revolution did not consider their actions to be outside of traditional social, cultural and religious parameters. Neither did they expect their participation in the revolution to be the first step in gaining improved status and more important …
