Many women (and men) are calling for a radical change as they feel traditional gender concepts as being oppressive, inhuman and un-Christian. Gender equality, gender fairness is on their agenda. On the other hand, for many men (and women) these societal changes are painful "gender troubles" and seem to be dangerous for gender-based identity, threatening traditional African values. Volume 22 of the BiAS series deals with this central topic by asking what gender troubles have to do with the Bible. Are biblical texts an obstacle for women's liberation? Is the Bible a divine guaranty for male supremacy or rather an advocate for gender equality? What are "redemptive masculinities" and how do they relate to a new, truly Christian understanding of the role of women in church, society and state? - Scholars from different disciplines and several countries are dealing with these urgent questions to help scholars, students, pastors, politicians and members of Christian churches to find a way to more gender fairness and "gender joy". 410 $aBible in Africa Studies 606 $aSocial Science / Gender Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Gender Studies 615 0$aSocial sciences. 700 $aGabaitse$b Rosinah$01788133 702 $aStiebert$b Johanna 702 $aKügler$b Joachim 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831858903321 996 $aThe Bible and Gender Troubles in Africa$94322528 997 $aUNINA
