Abstract

Conflicting voices in the contemporary conservative Christian church, as well as voices of both the near and distant historical past, profoundly -- and often negatively -- impact women and the church at large today. Confusion, stagnation, and disunity frequently result. This thesis explores sociological, epistemological, historical, and finally biblical and theological reasons for these conflicting voices. It argues that Christian leadership and the authoritative Christian voices in women's lives should encourage them to learn, construct knowledge, critically weigh propositions, and exercise their gifts. It also argues strongly that women need female role models held up before them as positive, critically thinking examples.
