Anna
/Womanist theology is a form of reflection that places the religious and moral perspectives of women at the center of its method. It intentionally engages theological problems such as class, gender, and race. Furthermore, womanist theology intends to reimagine old religious language and symbols to give them depth, texture, and relevance for today.
Womanist theology is a helpful corrective for the Season of Advent, which has traditionally focused on male characters. For example, Joseph and Zechariah, the shepherds, the Magi, and even the angels, are said to be male. These characters quickly become the focus of most Advent storytelling. However, to be clear, without women, there is no Season of Advent. This sermon series will therefore highlight women in the biblical account throughout the life of Jesus, primarily during the days leading up to his birth. It will elevate their experiences and perspectives, thereby shining Advent-light into darkness that is often neglected in Christian imagination.
