Description: These essays, written specifically for this volume, attempt to fill a growing need for a more exact idea of the role of religion, specifically in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, in shaping the traditional cultural images that have degraded and suppressed women. **Religion and Sexism** provides, in the compass of a single work, a glimpse of the history of the relationship of patriarchal religion to feminine imagery and to the actual psychic and social self-images of women. The authors of these essays are scholars in the particular areas of historical theology in which they write."
