Abstract

This essay explores the intersection between feminism and the work of Stanley Hauerwas. The recent critiques of Hauerwas's writings by Gloria Albrecht and Linda Woodhead are examined and a general assessment of the relationship between feminist theology (in its various guises) and Hauerwas's work is offered. It is suggested that the intersection of Hauerwas's theology with some strands of feminism reveals some surprisingly similar theological convictions and faith commitments, and that these areas of common concern offer unique opportunities for mutual engagement and enhancement.
