UNHEARD VOICES OF WOMEN IN THE BIBLE, WITH IMPLICATIONS OF EMPOWERMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF TODAY’S CHURCH by L.M. Mudimeli, J.D.N. Van der Westhuizen

“…This article journeys with a narrative from the New Testament that encourages deconstruction of discourses that are harmful to women and reconstruction of healthy discourses that are inclusive and do not discriminate against women on the basis of gender. As the empowerment of women is located within the discourses of gender equality, a gender lens, which is a biblical liberation hermeneutic of vhusadzi theology, is employed to reconstruct positive discourses regarding people’s perceptions about women in societies. …”
