Unity of Christology and Pneumatology to Support Justice for Women’s Leadership in the Context of the Church

Abstract

This article aims to emphasize the importance of the unity of the doctrines of Christology and Pneumatology that can be used to support the struggle for justice for women’s leadership in the context of the Church. One-sided or unbalanced emphasis on Christology alone or Pneumatology alone in theology can lead to injustice in the context of women’s leadership in the Church. If the teaching of Christology is dominant, but Pneumatology is a deficit – in relation to ecclesiology – then the concept to be emphasized is the Church was founded solely on the work of Jesus Christ, who was male. On the other hand, a dominant Pneumatology and a Christological deficit will obscure the support for justice for the emergence of female leaders in the Church.
