Beschreibung

"In this fascinating and generative study, Gina Zurlo uses statistics and social analysis to anchor the common observation that women outnumber men in churches around the world. Finally, scholars of world Christianity, women's studies, and related fields have a foundation upon which to build future research."
- Dana L. Robert, Director of the Center for Global Christianity and Mission, Boston University

"The first of its kind! This book reclaims women's central roles in world Christianity and offers comprehensive data on the historical and theological developments, region by region. I highly recommend it."
- Kwok Pui-lan, Dean's Professor of Systematic Theology at Candler School of Theology, Emory University

Women in World Christianity: Building and Sustaining a Global Movement presents a comprehensive account of women's experiences in World Christianity from the beginnings of the faith to the contemporary era. Integrating historical, theological, and social scientific approaches to this emerging field, this innovative textbook helps students better understand women's contributions to the founding, spread, and continuation of the Christian faith and recognizes women's activities worldwide that help them overcome unique challenges in both society and the church.

Focusing on women in the 20th and 21st centuries, the period of Christianity's shift from the global North to the global South, Women in World Christianity brings together different perspectives on women's experiences of church life to provide a well-balanced presentation of the contributions of women in all major Christian traditions in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Oceania. Student-friendly chapters are organized by continent, tradition, and theme - covering key topics including gender-based violence, ecology, education, peacebuilding, missions, and more.

The first textbook of its kind to provide an interdisciplinary view of how women helped Christianity become a world religion and how they sustain it today, Women in World Christianity: Building and Sustaining a Global Movement is an excellent primary textbook for both introductory courses on World Christianity and undergraduate and graduate courses specifically focused on women in World Christianity.
