Excellent- More about Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, and the Theology of Freedom
This book explores how Judith Butlers work on gender and the shaping of the human subject can be combined with Michel Foucaults notion of parrhesia to develop a theology of freedom. It highlights the importance of freedom, gender (body), and power (critique) in shaping human action and provides theological-historical case studies to illustrate this. The book is valuable for scholars of religion, philosophy, and gender and sexuality studies.

This book delves into the profound exploration of Judith Butler's groundbreaking work on gender and the formation of the human subject, as well as Michel Foucault's concept of parrhesia, which emphasizes the power of speaking the truth. Through meticulous analysis, the volume highlights the significance of three key concepts: freedom, gender (body), and power (critique). These concepts serve as the foundational categories and structural pillars of a theology of freedom. By commencing with an in-depth examination of power and the transformative potential of gendered embodiment, freedom emerges as the cornerstone of creative and critical human action. This theological concept is then effectively implemented within the realm of theology.
The chapters within this book feature a diverse range of theological-historical case studies, each representative of topics that continue to shape contemporary Catholic norms and thought. The author delves into profound reflections on the 13th century, exploring the concept of personal sin and confession, as well as the 19th century, where a gender ideology led to the marginalization of difference and dissent. Through these case studies, the book demonstrates how Judith Butler and Michel Foucault offer invaluable insights for Catholic theology, making it a valuable resource for scholars of religion, philosophy, and gender and sexuality studies.
