AB - 1154 Journal of the American Academy of Religion particularly silent prayer, intervenes here to remind Christian theology of the power of the Word that ought to govern human words. When women choose silence, what is revealed is the power of the Word that is the original disruption in creation. Believing women, anywhere, can form such a solidarity of silence and prayer to gestate theology in a womb of silence. Silence in such a view is a “countercultural model” (103); it sublimates the ego, and opens the self out to the infinite in “a challenge to conceptions of language and creativity that are aligned with appropriation, mastery and dominance” (112). Writing silence therefore reveals that a feminist need not always speak and write with oppressive tools, an (im)possible feat. Putting aside the tools of language in spiritual trust has the potential to disrupt the very frame in which feminist theology struggles as a critique of secular academic and ecclesiastical patriarchy. Hopeful and consoling, these prayerful essays root upward, a contemporary intellectual and mystical practice that promises a deeper freedom for creation. doi:10.1093/jaarel/lft069 Susan Abraham Harvard Divinity School The Roots of Nubian Christianity Uncovered: The Triumph of the Last Pharaoh.
