One could interpret that he is doing this to question the themes of patriarchy‚ stereotyping and the Male Gaze Theory.

Chopp has wrestled intellectually and spiritually with the idea of black theology as public discourse.

Chopp seeks to not only reimagine public discourse in light of feminist and black theology but also‚ examine prospective visions of how these two theologies may contribute to the public space and theology while arguing that all theology is public.
