Produktbeschreibung
Observations about dialogue and about the theology of religions are common enough these days, but they are rarely grounded in the analysis of a particular reality and are therefore of little help to practitioners. This book, on the other hand, gives an exhaustive documentation of the background and the actual situation of Muslim-Christian relations in Northern Nigeria before proceeding to proposals for understanding the contribution of women's discourse in the development of dialogue and to a feminist theology of religions. Drawing from her empirical findings in Northern Nigeria as well as some feminist insights, the author suggests an approach to other religions, grounded in people's lived experience and a shared commitment to justice, peace and transformed human relations. Recognizing the limitations of some pluralist theories, she suggests a feminist-ethical approach to religious pluralism. The practicality and feasibility of such an approach are shown as she elaborates on itspossible application in the concrete context of Northern Nigeria.

Rezensionen
"Le survol synthétique de cet ouvrage remarquable invite à en entreprendre la lecture, afin d'en découvrir toute la richesse d'informations et de réflexion sur la 'Question féminine' en situation multiculturelle et multireligieuse. [...] Nous avons là une contribution orginiale à la double problématique du dialogue interreligieux et du discours féministe, de l'articulation entre l'universalité de ce discours et sa nécessaire localisation contextuelle dans une région de l'Afrique dont (...) nous découvrons la complexité." (Alice Dermience, Revue Théologique de Louvain)
