The Christian Feminist Manifesto

The Christian Feminist Manifesto: A response to Trolls and Critics.

Written by Onaoluwa Abimbola. Edited by Dame Joan Oji, PhD.

This is an exploration of the themes and values of Christian feminists worldwide. It chronicles the stories and thoughts of a few people including the author (who is a Nigerian Christian), who have written on the subject in bits and pieces over the years since the advent of Christian feminism.

It also gives evidence from the Bible to support gender equality advocacy. It is also a response by the author; who is a fierce advocate of gender equality and Christian feminism to the people who refer to Christian feminists like her as demonic and working against the principles of the Bible.

She offers hope and encouragement to all the women who struggle with aligning their Christian faith and beliefs with the reality of what gender equality ideals represent including those who have stepped out of the church because of the perceived subjugation of women by God in the Bible.
