In this book Heather Walton explores the significance of women poststructuralist theorists for feminist reading practices in theology. She interrogates the crucial role that literature has played in the development of feminist theology and breaks new ground in linking the study of literary texts and theory to creative writing. This raises important epistemological questions concerning the use of the imagination in theological thinking and introduces 'reflexive theology' as a discipline and practice.
Dr Heather Walton is Lecturer at the Centre for the Study of Literature and Theology, University of Glasgow, UK.

'Imagining Theology mark[s] an important intervention in the field of literature and theology by challenging both male scholars and religious feminists to consider the work of feminist poststructuralists. [This] book will be useful to scholars in both disciplines, as well as those who occupy the margins between them.' Elizabeth Anderson, University of Glasgow, The Kelvingrove Review
