Inhaltsangabe

A classic in Christian literature, this book identifies numerous ancient and contemporary prejudices and stereotypes that work against women and reduce them to secondary roles in society in general and church communities in particular. The author, a world-renowned theologian, reveals the deep-rooted sources of these prejudices and brings them into the light for close examination. He presents the material in 28 chapters that take the form of short, thought-provoking meditations. He cites evidence from both the Old and New Testaments to make it clear why such prejudices are not in line with God's will. At the end of each chapter, he suggests ways in which both women and men can deal constructively with the problems associated with this culturally ingrained discrimination. The book also contains essays by top female scholars from five continents – Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and South America. They report on long-practiced church suppression of women in their respective countries – problems that exist today and have persisted since the Middle Ages and earlier.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Wijngaards, DD, LSS, is an internationally renowned theologian and Scripture scholar and is founder of the Wijngaards Institute for Catholic Research, headquartered in London. He is one of the leading voices in the worldwide movement to include women in the Catholic priesthood. A former Mill Hill Missionary and vicar general of his congregation, he resigned from the active priestly ministry in 1998, mainly because of a conflict of conscience over the Churchs refusal to ordain women. His Institute coordinates international studies on crucial issues of reform facing the Church today.
