This author is renowned for her pioneering theological work presented from an Asian perspective, characterized by a distinctive literary style. Her writings delve into profound questions of faith and human existence, often employing Asian myths and narratives to interpret theological concepts. However, she eschews the label "feminist theology," viewing it as too politically charged. Instead, her approach emphasizes a more inclusive image of God and explores the strength of female figures, such as the Virgin Mary, whom she portrays as a completely realized woman.
This book explores the challenge of being a Christian woman in Asia. Katoppo explains why Asian Christian women like herself seek the right to be different, to be the Other, rather than having to accept identities borrowed from men and other cultures.
