Detailed Description

Hidden behind much patriarchal thinking is a pervasive patrilineal worldview. The belief that the family line is a male line and that males own and inherit the resources, has colored nearly all our cultures in the past and still accounts for much oppression and sidelining of women. Beulah will speak from her experience in south Asian culture, recognizing that, within families, women often become the perpetrators of discrimination against females. Does that happen to some extent near all of us? The Bible culture too is patrilineal. How shall we view that?

BEULAH WOOD (BA, BD, DMin, GCTS) taught with her husband, Brian, in south India and Nepal until he died in the mountains in 1980. She then developed as a writer while raising her four daughters in her home country, New Zealand. Now making her base in Bangalore, India, since 1997, Beulah is an adjunct professor at South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Study (SAIACS), teaching preaching and theology of family. Family and gender issues have become for Beulah a ministry passion—she has an urge to see mutually respectful relations between men and women, and parents and children, in all countries. She also desires to empower Christians with understanding to pass this message further into their communities.
