초록

Feminist spirituality movement has been growing since the early 1970s, mainly in the United States, which has empowered women and envisioned a post-patriarchal society cherishing feminine and alternative values. This movement, spontaneous and grass-roots, centers around the Goddess worship. One of the critical issues feminist spirituality movement raises is whether it could be captured into the gender binary by choosing the Goddess against God, which it challenges. The Goddess needs to be reconstructed in a way to escape the gender binary. This paper, therefore, explores three differently positioned feminist perspectives on the re-conceptualization of Goddess, Divinity, and God - Carol Christ (thealogy), Luce Irigaray (feminist theory), and Catherine Keller (feminist theology) - to suggest some key factors in reconstructing the Goddess. What these three feminist theorists address in common as attributes of the alternative Divinity are 1) immanence related to transcendence 2) changing or becoming, and interdependence 3) difference and otherness. These three attributes need to be considered as key factors in reconstructing the Goddess.

Abstract

Feminist spirituality movement has been growing since the early 1970s, mainly in the United States, which has empowered women and envisioned a post-patriarchal society cherishing feminine and alternative values. This movement, spontaneous and grass-roots, centers around the Goddess worship. One of the critical issues feminist spirituality movement raises is whether it could be captured into the gender binary by choosing the Goddess against God, which it challenges. The Goddess needs to be reconstructed in a way to escape the gender binary. This paper, therefore, explores three differently positioned feminist perspectives on the re-conceptualization of Goddess, Divinity, and God - Carol Christ (thealogy), Luce Irigaray (feminist theory), and Catherine Keller (feminist theology) - to suggest some key factors in reconstructing the Goddess. What these three feminist theorists address in common as attributes of the alternative Divinity are 1) immanence related to transcendence 2) changing or becoming, and interdependence 3) difference and otherness. These three attributes need to be considered as key factors in reconstructing the Goddess.
