In this article Carol P. Christ states that ‘thealogy matters’ because religious symbols not only articulate meaning but also provide orientation for ethical decision-making. Rejecting the notions that religious meaning is delivered from on high and that traditions must be uncritically accepted, she proposes a model of ‘embodied theology’ in which individuals and communities take responsibility for religious worldviews. She asks us to question Jungian theories of the feminine, images of the Goddess in patriarchal traditions, models of ritual practice in the Wiccan tradition as articulated by Gerald Garner, and the idea of divine omnipotence modelled on the ‘tyrant ideal’ of God. She explores two ways in which process panentheism can help us to understand the divine power we call Goddess.

神学很重要

在这篇文章中，Carol P. Christ 指出“神学很重要”，因为宗教符号不仅表达了意义，而且还为伦理决策提供了方向。她拒绝接受宗教意义来自上层的观念，以及必须不加批判地接受传统的观念，她提出了一种“具身神学”的模型，在这种模型中，个人和社区对宗教世界观负责。她让我们质疑荣格的女性理论、父权传统中的女神形象、杰拉尔德·加纳 (Gerald Garner) 阐述的巫术传统中的仪式实践模型，以及以上帝的“暴君理想”为模型的神圣全能理念。她探讨了泛神论可以帮助我们理解我们称之为女神的神圣力量的两种方式。
