Abstract
"The issue of the exercise of authority within church structure in the writings of Ruether, particularly with regard to the impact of patriarchy on church life and thought, as well as their global ecological and socio-political repercussions, has received only limited treatment. The intent of the present dissertation is to study both Ruether’s critique of patriarchal hierarchy as the institutionalized model of authority within Roman Catholicism as well as her own alternate feminist ecclesiological construct. The dissertation therefore examines Ruether’s understanding of church governance as it unfolds first in its preliminary critique of patriarchal institutionalization and, second, in its constructive undertaking of an alternate model of church government"
