Book Overview

This volume fulfills the need for an accessible academic book that addresses the gender issues that women face as Christian disciples, whether in formal leadership roles or engaging leadership in informal means, and considers these issues in the context of world Christianity.

Context and Themes

In an era in which mission is "from everywhere, to everywhere," when local churches strive to be missional, and when Christians are engaged in intercultural ministry, this book invites a scholar-practitioner conversation, engaging multiple disciplines and perspectives to explore the role of women in the mission of God.

Purpose and Impact

An interdisciplinary and intercultural conversation about women will enrich the church's ongoing effort to be faithful to God's call to women (and men) to participate in God's work in the world.
