The Early Salvation Army Professed Its Commitment To Sexual Equality In Ministry And Leadership. In Fact, Its Founding Constitution Proclaimed Women Had The Right To Preach And Hold Any Office In The Organization. But Did They? Women In Gods Army Is The First Study Of Its Kind Devoted To The Critical Analysis Of This Central Claim.The Book Traces The Extent To Which This Egalitarian Ideal Was Realized In The Private And Public Lives Of First And Secondgeneration Female Salvationists In Britain And Argues That The Salvation Army Was Found Wanting In Its Overall Commitment To Womens Equality With Men. Bold Pronouncements Were Not Matched By Actual Practice In The Home Or In Public Ministry.Andrew Mark Eason Traces The Nature Of These Discrepancies, As Well As The Victorian And Evangelical Factors That Lay Behind Them. He Demonstrates How Salvationists Often Assigned Roles And Responsibilities On The Basis Of Gender Rather Than Equality, And The Ways In Which These Discriminatory Practices Were Supported By A Maledefined Theology And Authority. He Views This Story From A Number Of Angles, Including Historical, Gender And Feminist Theology, Ensuring It Will Be Of Interest To A Wide Spectrum Of Readers. Salvationists Themselves Will Appreciate The Light It Sheds On Recent Debates. Ultimately, However, Anyone Who Wants To Learn More About The Human Struggle For Equality Will Find This Book Enlightening.
