Renaming
editI redirected Feminist Christianity because in all my research on the subject, I have never heard the term "Feminist Christianity." Probably because it implies that there are multiple Christianities, which doens't make any sense.
- On the contrary, most academics no longer speak of "Christianity," but prefer the "Christian tradition" for precisely this reason-- that there are multiple Christianities, from different eras and different geographical expressions of Christianity.

Intended modifications and additions
edit- Adjust and expound the lead section to cover the additional information and sections.
- Expound the section, "Interpretations of gender-based scriptures," by mentioning how translations of biblical texts may open opportunities for misinterpretation, how biblical figures themselves make sexist statements, and how attributing traits to be masculine or feminine creates sexist expectations.
- Added a new section titled "Women and their roles in Christianity" to give a general overview of the roles that women have played in the Bible even if it is not in leadership.
- Expounded the "Reproduction, sexuality and religion" section with information about what scholars and health professionals argue about the unfairness of abortion being dealt with using a religious perspective.
- New section titled "Contemporary Christian perspectives on women" which discusses how the Christian faith affects how issues involving women are approached. It also talks about how women utilize their faith to help those around them, thus, showing how women practice their Christian faith.
