It uses the Lukan image of the \"bent-over-woman-standing-up-straight\" as a paradigm for those who are marginalized and engages Edward Schillebeeckxs method of negative contrast experience to explore potential mutual conversion and transformation between the institutional church and these suffering \"others.\" It reflects on the meaning of Schillebeeckxs insight into \"the superior power of God's defenseless vulnerability\" in creation and the cross and asks what it might mean for the church to embody the vulnerable rule of God in its structures, doctrines, symbols, and rituals. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 248 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 June 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book explores the reign of God through the suffering experiences of women and marginalized individuals, using the Lukan image of the \"bent-over-woman-standing-up-straight\" as a paradigm. It arises from encounters with those who suffer exclusion, negation, diminishment, and violence in relation to a patriarchal church in a still-patriarchal world. Kathleen McManus employs Edward Schillebeeckx's method of negative contrast experience to explore the space of encounter between the institutional church and these suffering \"others,\" drawing out latent possibilities for mutual conversion and transformation.
