The present work is a study on the status and identity of Dalit women in India with special reference to South Andhra Lutheran Church (SALC). The experience of the struggles, sufferings, aspirations and victories of Dalit women, is the foundation in theologizing and constructing ‘Dalit Feminist Hermeneutics.’ Using the concept of “identity” as a hermeneutical tool, the research is engaged in the basic theological issue, i.e., ‘Dalit women as the Image of God.’ By drawing on the work of several Feminist and Dalit theologians, an attempt is made by the author to ‘depatriarchalize’ the patriarchal ideology that boxed God; and to reconstruct God’s image in various metaphors which are empowering.

This learned presentation contributes toward the said theology in line with understanding, reflection, interpretation and articulation of Indian Christian Theology at large. It contributes methodologically to the wider feminist movement in India. The theological enterprise in this research work, takes both the academic circles and the grassroots in to serious consideration, where the Bible becomes a major socio-religious context.
