...will have its own special potentialities for good and evil, to which a theology based solely on masculine experience may well be irrelevant." She offers no specific suggestions for a female theology of the future, but perhaps what lies ahead is a theology of enlightened self-esteem emphasizing the final words of Christ's commandment: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself...
