Why women should study theology together

The School of Theology’s central mission is to encourage and equip Christians to do theology together. We recognise, however, that the history of Christian theologising has been a heavily gendered one. Even now, there is significant gender imbalance among academic staff in Theology and Religion departments in the UK. This represents an impairment to our goal of doing theology together, that is, with the wealth that diversity brings. In this essay, Charlotte Gibson discusses a way forward, not just by increasing the number of individual women writing theological books, but by women doing theology with one another for the edification of the wider Church.
