Research project

A Feminist Reading of Holy Saturday

Using the insights of feminist theory, theology, and contemporary trauma theory, this project develops a concept of Holy Saturday - the middle day between death and life - that confronts problematic notions of redemptive suffering and sacrificial love dominating cross-centered interpretations of Christian redemption. A multi-faceted concept of witnessing - not suffering - merges from the middle day.
