This book encourages Muslima theologians to enter with humility and opennessinto the valuable terrain of feminist scholarship from different faith traditions. It demonstrates the value of comparative engagement as not only theologically meaningful, but also as a beautiful act of faith and deeper learning. For while risky and destabilizing, comparative engagement allows for new ways of self-understanding and creates bonds of solidarity across faith-based feminist scholarship. * amina wadud, Professor Emerita of Islamic Studies and Visiting Scholar, Starr King School for the Ministry * Divine Words, Female Voices intervenes provocatively and rigorously in conversations about scripture and gender justice.
