Breaking the Ceiling

Women in the Charismatic Churches in Malawi

This work contributes significantly to the understanding of gender dynamics within Malawian Christianity, offering both scholarly insight and platform for the voices of women in the church. This book with its deep engagement with the religious life of Malawi, is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the evolving role of women in the church, both in Malawi and in the broader African context.
