Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women

Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women

Women comprise at least half the world and usually more than half the church. But so often Christian teaching for women either fails to move beyond a discussion of roles or assumes a particular economic situation or stage of life. This shuts a lot of women out from contributing to God's kingdom as they were designed to do. Furthermore, the plight of women in the Majority World demands a Christian response, a holistic embrace of all that God calls women and men to be in his world. The strongest voices speaking into women's lives in the twenty-first century are Islam and Feminism--systems that reside at opposite ends of the spectrum. Does the church's message for womenÂ stake out the middle ground or lead the way to something much better?Â Is that message strong enough to withstand the worst realities women suffer in this broken world?Â Carolyn Custis James unpacks three transformative themes the Bible presents that invest the lives of every woman and girl with cosmic significance that nothing can destroy.Â These new images of what can be in Christ come with a blazing call for them to join their brothers in advancing God's gracious kingdom on earth. Â Carolyn offers readers a positive, kingdom approach to the changes, challenges, and opportunities facing women throughout the world today.
