Abstract
This book deals with various issues and themes relevant to Naga women today. The concern is in developing a feminist theology from Naga women’s perspective and so all the articles are centered on this area, though looking at from different angles. This book highlights that the patriarchal cultures and customary laws of the Nagas has kept women in bondage. There is a need to explore decisively the encounter between the gospel and culture in order to develop appropriate counter-cultural elements for empowering Naga women. Using women eye glasses for interpreting the Bible is one of the concerns in this book because Bible has been interpreted from males’ perspective and so the present interpretation of the Bible suppresses women. Therefore, this book calls to re-read and reinterpret the Bible from Naga women perspective. Nagas are also not spared from the forces of globalization and environmental issues which affected and touched upon in all the areas of life. Women are badly victimized by all these forces in our society. Hence, there is a need to critique and educate the people in these areas which impinge our lives. Women in full time Christian ministry is another serious issue that Naga women are facing today. This brings attention to the whole theological education process, its nature and purpose of education. The present issue of partnership in ministry is conditioned by the gender biased theology and theological education. Healing can be brought only by developing gender biased free or inclusive theology and theological education process.
