What will happen when feminist theologians turn their attention away from the discus-sion of woman and man and feminine and masculine and join in writing about God and human beings, the church and the wider world? Will their theology turn out, after all, to be much like that to which we are already accustomed, despite their powerful critiques? Or will it truly be theology in a new key?

"GOD-CHRIST-CHURCH provides us with the first important answer to this question. It presupposes feminist insights without articulating or labeling them. And it proceeds to speak of the great doctrines of the church from a perspective which is not emphasized. It is not theology about feminist issues, but it is feminist theology.

"So what do we have? First, it is a process theology. That is not surprising since so much of the dualism and substantialism and hierarchicalism against which feminists rightly protest has also been rejected in process theology.

"But, second, it is process theology with a difference. Much of process theology has been written in a style that is in tension with its content. It speaks of movement and flux, and the style suggests static structure.... Marjorie Suchocki overcomes all that. Her style is appropriate to what she says. It moves and flows, and it unites thought and feeling....

"To one who has worked for many years within the tradition of process theology, it is profoundly encouraging to learn that feminists can find it an organ suitable for their use. It is exciting to see that much of the deeper existential meaning of process thought becomes clear for the first time only as the concepts are put to this use. This book at once advances process theology and develops feminist theology. It can further Christian theology generally as well."
