"The Sins of the Fathers: A Theological Investigation of the Biblical
Tension between Corporate and Individualized Retribution," Joel S.
Kaminsky, Judaism, 1997.
- "Both the tendency to marginalize the importance of corporate ideas, and the movement to emphasize the importance of texts that stress the individual's relationship to God, stem from a common modern bias that favors individualistic over community-based conceptions of identity and responsibility."
-
"A Biblical Perspective on the Church: Imagery of Christianity," Mercy
Oduyoye, The Ecumenical Review, 2001.
- "I have come to the conclusion that we need new myths, new metaphors, new language if we are to calm the troubled waters of the relations between women and men or -- better still -- to make the troubled waters become a source of healing for the unhealthy relations foisted upon us by patriarchy and androcentrism."

Tension between Corporate and Individualized Retribution," Joel S.
