This trend was mirrored during the same period among  the vast majority of Pentecostal denominations in  the western world. Could this change signify a new  era for women leaders in Pentecostalism? Using the CRC as a case study, this book  systematically examines five possible explanations  for the increase, testing each hypothesis by  analysis of primary documents, statistical analysis  of survey responses, interview transcripts and  written survey comments.  The findings are surprising and the conclusions of  this book suggest that the ¿new era for women¿ is  not as deep-rooted in theology as it is a response  to pragmatics and cultural pressure. This leaves it  far more vulnerable to future societal shifts than  Pentecostal women leaders would find comforting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838380414\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Case Study: Explaining the increase in numbers of women leaders in the CRC in Australia  1990-2005\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838380414","offer_id":39498944741469,"sku":"9783838380414","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/336e494b-f44d-42ed-8e13-2f56f8ea3757.jpg?v=1775194915","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/a-new-era-for-pentecostal-women-leaders-von-cheryl-catford","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
