Meeting God on the cross : Christ, the cross, and the feminist critique /

Gudmundsdottir argues that a feminist theology of the cross serves a dual purpose in feminist hristology: it discloses the patriarchal distortion of traditional christology, and can also reveal lost dimensions in the understanding of the person and work of Jesus Christ.
