Summary/Abstract: Feminist theology presupposes talking about feminism in general. Such feminism has, in today’s society, partly lost its original meaning and mission. More importantly, it has not been affirmed in religion either. Nevertheless, we have the right to talk about feminism in religion on the basis of philosophical researches, the number of which has not been small in recent times. On the other hand, religiosity is expressed in religion. It is, in particular, expressed by the people because the relationship between God and Man is needed for its existence. Feminism questions Man too in that relationship because from that perspective numerous questions arise. Consequently, in relationship God-Man, feminism, respecting its philosophical boundaries, questions one and the other reality. Feminist philosophy of religion has been developing gradually. In the same way as feminism has been developing through periods (three waves of feminism), feminist theory does not develop at one time either.
