| Abstract: This paper looked at Christian Religion as tool for women’s empowerment in Nigeria. It was revealed in this paper that Christian religion serves as a tool for empowering women in the society. Empowerment was seen as the process of enabling or authorizing the individual to think, take action and control work in an autonomous way. It was seen as the process by which one can gain control over one’s destiny and the circumstances of one’s life. Empowerment includes control over resources (physical, human, intellectual and financial) and over ideology (beliefs, values and attitudes). The church was discovered to have helped in so many ways by giving money to women for businesses through micro credit scheme and others in order to alleviate poverty, since this has been of tremendous concern to the church and society at large. It was recommended that churches should strengthen their tie of relationship with the society especially in areas of family upbringing and economic empowerment of women. |
