Overview

How to Fight Sexism in the Church Despite the real progress that has been made in recent years, women continue to be silenced, wounded, and relegated to the sidelines in our churches. Many churches--even churches that outwardly affirm and platform women--remain unaware of the patterns and cultures at play that set up unseen barriers for women. This is a book for Christians who want to learn how to do better. Heather Matthews has experienced sexism in the church firsthand. In Confronting Sexism in the Church, she explores the history and culture of sexism in our contemporary evangelical world and describes the many ways--subtle and not so subtle--that it lives on in the church today. She gives simple, practical steps for how Christians can actively fight sexism in its many forms. The mistreatment of women has been part of the human experience from the very beginning--but in Christ, women are set free to be all they've been created to be. This book invites churches to live out that reality in all its fullness.
