Christian Women in Indonesia: A Narrative Study of Gender and Religion

by Frances S. Adeney

Overview

Discussing the gender negotiations of women seeking leadership positions within the Christian church in Indonesia, Adeney (Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary) argues that postmodern conversations of ideology can occur in cultures, especially as the process of choosing different ideologies generates concentric circles of change in communities. She argues that these women challenge both Christian and more traditional gender oppressions in speaking out from within patriarchal institutions. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
