A special article for International Women’s Day (March 8) was published in the Women’s Ministries Newsletter for the British Union, highlighting the new book by Dr. Jude Jeanville, “Justice for Women - The Cry to End the Pandemic of Discrimination, Intimidation, Misogyny, Abuse and Violence against Women.”
In recent years, many books have been written on the subject of women’s equality -for and against - by historians and theologians of various Christian denominations. This book is the result of the doctoral research into the topic by Dr. Jeanville and provides the most important answers to questions of biblical interpretation. For those interested in an Adventist standpoint, the book is clear in its message of justice for women supported by the official church doctrines but often disregarded in practice. Jeanville writes: ‘An official statement many have not seen, states, "Seventh-day Adventists believe that all people, male and female, are created equal, in the image of a loving God. We believe that both men and women are called to fill a significant role in accomplishing the primary mission of the Adventist Church: working together for the benefit of humanity. Yet we are painfully aware that throughout the world, in developing and developed nations, adverse societal conditions often inhibit women from fulfilling their God-given potential." (https://www.adventist.org/official-statements/womens-issues/.)’ The fact that the book is written by a male pastor employed by the church and printed by the Adventist publishing house in the UK will hopefully make an impact in the worldwide church to practice what it preaches. It is an ideal gift for International Women’s Day!
