  • Anderson, A. B. “Women & Christianity. Edited by Cheryl A.Kirk-Duggan and Karen Jo Torjesen.” Journal of the American Academy of Religion, vol. 80, no. 2, 2012, pp. 537–40, https://doi.org/10.1093/jaarel/lfs013.[1]
    • The authors of the article talk about the role that women have played in the various scriptures in Christianity, as well as how Christianity plays a part in the situations faced by women today.
  •  Beecheno, Kim. “Conservative Christianity and Intimate Partner Violence in Brazil: Using Feminism to Question Patriarchal Interpretations of Religion.” Religion & Gender (Utrecht), vol. 11, no. 2, 2021, p. 245–, https://doi.org/10.1163/18785417-bja10007.[2]
    • This article is useful in seeing how churches in Sao Paulo, Brazil may have internalized the patriarchy in Christian teachings that affect how Christians and working professionals deal with issues regarding women. The article puts focus on domestic violence that women of the faith experience by allowing them to question their rights, and their place in their personal life and in politics. The article provides examples of how women are treated by a specific church today and with the perspectives of these abused women, this can provide insight about whether this affects their Christian faith.
  • Miller, Patricia Cox. Women in Early Christianity: Translations From Greek Texts. Catholic University of America Press, 2005. EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=e000xna&AN=943032&site=ehost-live.[3]
    • This book focuses on the roles that women played in various aspects of life in the time of early Christianity. The author gathers materials from various official sources such as documentaries, poems, and theological sources. Miller mentions that these accounts were mostly written by men, and that women are usually mentioned in the background. A particularly useful section is "Women's Role in the Church" as it is divided into sections to the significant roles of in the time of Christ and determining where women fit in those roles. For instance, the book provides multiple accounts on how women in the bible were martyrs. Moreover, there is a section "Writings Opposed to Women's Ecclesiastical Duties" which shows various written accounts of those who oppose women in priesthood because it puts them above men. Thus, the book is a great source to draw insight about the identity of women in the early stages of Christianity, and how they may still be relevant today.

    • This article is written about the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) which is an organization that was built upon Japanese women's desire to participate in society and politics. This is a beneficial source as it provides insight about a Christian women-led group, their history, and how they navigated their country's situations as women of faith. Moreover, the article provides perspectives of how certain women became followers of Christianity. Even more useful is viewing how these women's role in society and being part of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union guided them in their lives.
  • Vorster, Johannes. “Androgyny and Early Christianity.” Religion & Theology, vol. 15, no. 1-2, 2008, pp. 97–132, https://doi.org/10.1163/157430108X308172.[5]
    • This is a peer-reviewed article focused on how androgyny is used to define situations where women are seen breaking free from their assigned roles, particularly women whom have power, or are engaging in political activities that have only been mainly handled by men. Moreover, this article discusses gender from the bible, and how biblical texts may be misinterpreted to promote masculinity among men and femininity among women. On the other hand, the section about how androgyny could possibly be a possibility of equality between genders also displays what constitutes of what being a man or a woman is.
  • Nicholson, Sarah, and Zanne Domoney‐Lyttle. “Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World: Editorial Introduction.” Open Theology, vol. 6, no. 1, De Gruyter Open, Dec. 2020, pp. 706–10, doi:10.1515/opth-2020-0143.[6]
    • This source will be useful to act as a secondary source in the section of "Interpretations of gender based scriptures." The source provides evidence of biblical scriptures and how misinterpretations may further support the social hierarchy between genders. In addition, the authors write about how it is important to analyze scriptures because it may help solve how genders are treated today in Christianity. It is also emphasizes how these interpretations may affect how scriptures are understood today. Lastly, because this source mentions biblical scriptures, then these are examples of how women and men are treated differently in the bible.

Outline of proposed changes

[edit]
  • Expound on the Women in church leadership section of the Christian Feminism Wikipedia page
    • Add more support from the source regarding the role of women in early Christianity in Greek texts.
    • The goal is to provide more context about how women were treated in Christianity, and how different accounts of Christianity may have varying views surrounding the role of women. For instance, texts from Apostolic Constitutions announced that it is illegal for a woman to baptize others as they are subjected to men.
  • Expound on the issues section by including how church teachings that have patriarchal notions may further establish misogyny in the church and their followers.
    • By giving examples of how the church plays a role in how issues surrounding women are solved, this will provide insight about the effects of sexist teaching.
