Faith and Focus - OCR A level RS - Episode 20 - Gender and Society

In this episode of Faith and Focus, we examine the complex relationship between Christianity, gender roles, and society. How have traditional Christian teachings shaped the role of women? And how are these roles being challenged and reinterpreted today?

We explore:

• The influence of patriarchal structures in Church and society

• The impact of secular feminism on Christian views of family and gender

• Debates around the family as a social construct and the idea of the nuclear family

• Theologies that challenge traditional gender roles, including liberal theology and Christian egalitarianism

Key thinkers such as Mary Daly and Rosemary Radford Ruether are discussed, along with the ongoing conversation about women’s ordination and leadership in the Church.

🎧 Whether you're preparing for your exam or just curious about how religion interacts with modern gender debates, this episode breaks it all down with clarity, quotes, and critical analysis.
