  • Mutual submission, not complementarianism: Reviving the Chinese marital theology of Watchman Nee and Wang Mingdao

    Open AccessAnneke H StassonARTICLEMissiology An International Review2025

    Many Christians in both America and China follow an ideology that has come to be known as gender complementarianism. The husband is the undisputed “head of the household” and the wife must graciously submit to his leadership and decision-making, even if she disagrees with him.

    Open AccessAnneke H StassonARTICLEReligions2023References: 11

    In 2010, Padma Anagol argued that the first modern feminists in India were Christian women, women such as Laxmibai Tilak and Pandita Ramabai.

One of the notable consequences of modernization was that young people in industrializing nations began demanding the right to choose their own spouse and marry…

  • The Politicization of Family Life: How Headship Became Essential to Evangelical Identity in the Late Twentieth Century

    Open AccessAnneke H Stasson, Anneke StassonARTICLEReligion and American Culture A…2014Cited by: 1References: 8

    This article describes the fluidity of evangelical gender ideology during the 1970s and posits that belief in male headship became one of the distinct marks of evangelical identity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At that time, the Christian Right led a campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment, arguing that the ERA was the means by which feminists were seeking to destroy the family. It became politically expedient for evangelicals to assert …
