The following approaches have been identified by Carolyn Osiek: 'rejectionist', 'revisionist', 'sublimationist' and 'liberationist'. To these approaches an epistemology of participation is added. Feminist hermeneutics is seen through the lense of the critical theory of Jürgen Habermas. The result poses an alternative to a positivistic approach to Scripture. Some contributions of feminist hermeneutics to church and society are identified.29 pagesPDFAfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaOsiek, CarolynHabermas, JurgenHermeneutics -- Religious aspectsFeminismArticle
