Includes bibliographical references (leaves 74-79) In this thesis three interrelated tasks are undertaken. Firstly, it attempts to unveil the misogyny of the Catholic Church fathers' andocentric miss-reading of the Virgin Birth narrative. Secondly, it looks at feminist theologians' critical analyses of Marian devotion in Latin America as being about the veneration of an archetypal figure working in the interests of patriarchal social control and the oppression of women. Thirdly, it discusses the hermeneutical method of Feminist Liberation Theologians which has been designed to uncover and critique andocentric scriptural interpretations, and reinterpret the traditional images of the Bible from a feminist perspective. 2014-10-06T11:46:43Z 2014-10-06T11:46:43Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8196 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
