Breaking the Stained-glass Ceiling: A Critical Analysis of Black Women in Ministry in the Black Church

Description

Breaking the Stained-glass Ceiling: A Critical Analysis of Black Women in Ministry in the Black Church by Dr. Bosie Kimber offers a thoughtful, research-driven examination of the barriers Black women face as called, gifted, and capable leaders within the Black Church. Through a critical lens shaped by history, theology, culture, and church practice, Kimber explores how tradition, power, and interpretation have often limited women’s authority and opportunity in ministry. At the same time, the book highlights the resilience, contributions, and spiritual leadership of Black women, calling the church toward deeper theological honesty, greater equity, and a more faithful embrace of the whole body of Christ.
