Read the book and answer those 5 questions (Not write an essay)

Description

Question 1 Religions almost always admit they are patriarchal even while they argue that their treatment of women represents an overall improvement.  a) Ture b)False

Question 2 What is one of the greatest difficulties feminists face, dividing them almost from the beginning, after they discover their religious tradition is patriarchal and sexist?

Question 3 Gross states that the difference between feminist “reformists” and feminist “revolutionaries” is about the degree to which they remain connected and loyal to traditional religions (pp. 107-109). Imagining yourself as someone facing this choice, in which camp do you think you would fall and why? Explain.

Question 4 Name the three claims of feminist theology central to its valuing of women’s experience as the primary religious authority (pp. 109-111).

Question 5 Choose one of the following two sections to focus on 1) Feminist Transformations of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (pp.111-132)  OR 2) Feminist Theological Transformations in Hinduism and Buddhism (pp. 133-140)

Then reply to the following prompt in reference to a specific tradition and support your answer by drawing in evidence from the reading (from within the section you selected).

Is the transformation of traditional religions possible or are they are too broken to be fixed? (Your answer does not have to be long, but should be substantive. Anywhere between 100 to 150 words will do.)
