The voices of women in church and society have long been overshadowed by patriarchal norms. Shining light on the hidden histories and raising awareness of women's issues in theology, particularly in the African context, this collaborative work seeks to empower women to become influential leaders and agents of change in their respective spheres.

From exploring the biblical basis for women in leadership to existing in a male-dominated Christian world, this diverse collection of scholars draws from their own experiences and expertise to produce this thorough exploration of gender issues in theology. Presenting detailed research into the challenges and potential of women in theological education and an astute understanding of the importance of male and female collaboration to redefine gender roles and relations, these essays encourage the empowerment of female leadership in theological education and other Christian contexts in Africa.
