| dc.description.sponsorship | The exclusion of women from leadership is not unique to Nigeria. It is also a global practice to alienate women from positions of leadership, especially in religious and political settings. However, there have been exceptions to this rule. Women in biblical times contributed to the freedom of the Israelite nation through active participation in leadership roles, among them, priestess hood, motherhood, and judgment. In African Indigenous Churches today, women also hold offices, functioning as choir leaders, ushers, lady evangelists, co-founders and founders. Contextualizing the biblical Deborah in her social and historical contexts, this paper discovers how women played significant roles in ensuring freedom for the Israelite nation, the church, and, by extension, Nigerian society. Its study finds the life and acts of Deborah offer contemporary Nigerian women a positive, liberating role model. Keywords: Religious Approach, Women, Freedom Achievement | |
