520    In recent years feminist scholarship has increasingly 
       focused on the importance of the body and its 
       representations in virtually every social, cultural, and 
       intellectual context. Many have argued that because women 
       are more closely identified with their bodies than men are,
       they have access to privileged and different kinds of 
       knowledge. In this landmark new book, Paula Cooey offers a
       new perspective on the significance of the body in the 
       context of religious life and practice. 
520 8  Religious Imagination and the Body addresses such vital 
       concerns as the role of the body in religious experience, 
       the impact of gender or sexual difference on religious 
       experience and its authority, and the viability of women's
       religious experience as an authoritative alternative to 
       male-centered and male-dominated culture. Cooey argues an 
       innovative position that is both critical and constructive,
       thus contributing to the ongoing debates in contemporary 
       theory of religion, philosophical theology, and feminist 
       theory. Building on the pathbreaking work of Elaine Scarry
       in The Body in Pain, Cooey looks at a wide range of 
       evidence, from the Argentine prison narrative of Alicia 
       Partnoy, to the novels of Toni Morrison and the paintings 
       of Frida Kahlo. Using current social theory and critique, 
       cognitive psychology, contemporary fiction and art, and 
       women's accounts of religious experience, Cooey relates 
       the reality of sentience to the social construction of 
       reality. 
520 8  Analyzing the female body as a metaphor for alternative 
       knowledge, Cooey considers the significance of physical 
       pain and pleasure to the religious imagination, and the 
       relations between sentience, sensuality, and female 
       subjectivity. This important study brings forward a 
       sophisticated new understanding of the religious 
       importance of the body, at the same time laying the 
       foundations of a feminist theory of religion.
