The scriptures clearly state that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us (the saints) according to His will and makes a groaning response to God which cannot be uttered in human words on the behalf of saints.

UNDERSTANDING JESUS: CHRISTOLOGY FROM A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE Until recently‚ traditional Christian theology was interpreted only by white males. In a modern world things are changing. In her book Consider Jesus‚ Elizabeth Johnson states that women “are waking up to their own dignity and finding their own voice” (page 97). Despite the feminist theology movement that Johnson describes‚ sexism and male dominance is embedded in the culture of the Catholic Church. Women will have equal rights

I think it’s hard to find any strong perspectives of Feminism in this play. I am sorry. I think there are some tendencies of characters that represent glimpses or "hopes" of Feminism‚ but that might be it for me. The first would be that there is an emotional reclamation of voice that Alison undergoes. When she returns from her father’s‚ she is revealed to have understood more of her own emotional state and her own emotional sense of self. The miscarriage and time away have allowed her to develop

integrated parts of social institutions .i.e. religion‚ family and economy. To see religion from a fuctionalists perspective you have to look at it through society as a hole. Keeping this in mind they emphasise the social nature of religion and the positive functions it serves. They also neglect negative aspects such as religion as a source of oppression of the poor or women which are both the feminist and Marxist views.

An Interpretation of A Rose for Emily From a Feminist Perspective William Faulkner is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century. And "A Rose for Emily" is a masterpiece of his short fictions. It is a novel with a predominant motif of love‚ even though it is neither passionate nor romantic but some sort of cruel and hysterical mixed with a strong sense of ambivalence. You can not help read the whole story with breathless interest and tend to read it one more time‚ also you are

In order to create the proper conditions required to cause these experiences‚ spiritual practice (called “askesis”) is

Throughout Man’s history‚ women have always been at a disadvantage socially‚ economically‚ and politically. Shakespeare realized this and sought to bring the controversy that comes with Androgynous issues—to life. Through strong female characters and the implications of disguises‚ Shakespeare exposes gender issues. Many critics believe Shakespeare poorly represents women in his plays through intentional exploiting of women with his boy-girl-boy disguises. When in fact‚ I see Shakespeare as exploiting
