Some of the images discussed are explicitly feminine (e.g. Jesus as mother), although many of these images are proposed by both Western and non-Western women. African and Asian women also use non-feminine images of Jesus (e.g. Jesus as liberator, Jesus as life-giver). Many of these images were developed by both male and female non-Western theologians and have become part of the global academic discourse. The article concludes that only a few images (e.g Jesus as shakti) are exclusive to non-Western women. Nevertheless, the images presented give insight in the lives of women in Africa and Asia since they reflect the experiences of non-Western women, their quest for life and the conviction that this life is to be found in Jesus Christ.}, pages = {13--33}, number = {1}, journaltitle = {Studies in Interreligious Dialogue}, author = {Frederiks, Martha T. and Brinkman, Martien E.}, date = {2009}, note = {Paid}, }
