Введение
Американский ученый (1945–2021)
Carol Patrice Christ (December 20, 1945 – July 14, 2021) was a feminist historian, thealogian, author, and foremother of the Goddess movement. She obtained her PhD from Yale University and served as a professor at universities such as Columbia University and Harvard Divinity School. Her best known publication is "Why Women Need The Goddess". It was initially a keynote presentation at the "Great Goddess Re emerging" conference" at the University of Santa Cruz in 1978. This essay helped to launch the Goddess movement in the U. S. and other countries. It discusses the importance of religious symbols in general, and the effects of male symbolism of God on women in particular. Christ called herself a "thealogian" and as such, made important contributions to the discipline of theology, significantly helping to create a space for it to be far more inclusive of women than has historically been the case. The term "thealogy" is derived from Ancient Greek θεά (theá, “goddess”) + logy
Christ wrote five influential books on women's spirituality and feminist theology and was a co editor of two classic anthologies: "Weaving the Visions: New Patterns in Feminist Spirituality" (1989); and "Womanspirit Rising" (1979/1989). The latter included her essay Why Women Need the Goddess. Both anthologies included feminist religious writing from writers from a very diverse range of religious backgrounds. She held a PhD from Yale University. Carol P. Christ taught at major universities in the United States, including Columbia University, Harvard Divinity School, Pomona College, San Jose State, and the California Institute of Integral Studies. As director of the Ariadne Institute, she conducted pilgrimages to sacred sites in Greece containing artifacts of matriarchal religion. For many years she had been a resident of the Greek island of Lesbos, the home of the poet Sappho.
Кэрол Патрис Крис (Carol Patrice Christ, 20 декабря 1945 года – 14 июля 2021 года) – феминистский историк, теолог, автор и одна из основоположниц движения Богини. Она получила докторскую степень в Йельском университете и преподавала в таких университетах, как Колумбийский университет и Гарвардская школа богословия. Ее наиболее известная работа – "Почему женщинам нужна Богиня". Изначально это был ключевой доклад на конференции "Возрождение Великой Богини" в Университете Санта-Круз в 1978 году. Это эссе способствовало зарождению движения Богини в США и других странах. В нем рассматривается важность религиозных символов в целом и влияние мужской символики Бога на женщин в частности. Крис называла себя "теалогом" и внесла значительный вклад в развитие теологии, помогая создать более инклюзивное пространство для женщин, чем это было принято в историческом контексте. Термин "теалогия" образован от древнегреческого θεά (theá, "богиня") + logy.

Крис написала пять влиятельных книг о женской духовности и феминистской теологии и была соредактором двух классических антологий: "Ткачество видений: новые модели в феминистской духовности" (1989) и "Восхождение женского духа" (1979/1989). В последней из них было опубликовано ее эссе "Почему женщинам нужна Богиня". Обе антологии содержали феминистские религиозные тексты авторов, представляющих широкий спектр религиозных традиций. Она получила докторскую степень в Йельском университете. Кэрол П. Крис преподавала в ведущих университетах США, включая Колумбийский университет, Гарвардскую школу богословия, Помона-колледж, Сан-Хосе Стэйт и Калифорнийский институт интегральных исследований. Будучи директором Института Ариадны, она организовывала паломничества к священным местам в Греции, хранящим артефакты матриархальной религии. Многие годы она прожила на греческом острове Лесбос, родине поэтессы Сапфо.
