A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Women, Religion & the Law: Does the Christian Worldview Offer the Best Hope for Women's Rights? Abstract: Protecting women from violence and discrimination is a hot topic. The feminist movement claims to address these issues in its fight for women’s rights. However, without knowing the true source for women’s rights—or human rights—communities will fail to accurately diagnose the problem and to effectively provide a solution.

First, I will define women’s rights in the context of defining human rights. Next, I will compare laws pertaining to women’s rights through the lens of the following major competing worldviews: Islam (i.e. Saudi Arabia), Hinduism (India), Atheism (i.e. China), and Christianity (United States). Finally, I wi...
Are you following the news? I mean, the real news. And, are you following world events? It is interesting, as John and I travel the world, I have come to discover that much of the rest of the world is quite knowledgeable and conversant with world events, even those in developing third world nations.

Spotlight on 'Women in Apologetics' Conference January 11-12, 2019 *From Ratio Christi's Blog, Nov. 15, 2018 Laurie Stewart is president of Women in Apologetics (WIA), a Christian non-profit organization focused on equipping, encouraging, and educating women in Christian apologetics. WIA purposefully gives women a chance to share content that is theologically, philosophically, and apologetically centered, and supports women in the church who are interested in learning how to think deeply and intelligently about their faith. Many of Ratio Christi’s women, from national staff to our field workers, are associated with WIA. For these reasons, we're excited about The Second Annual Women in Apologetics Conference . It will take place at Biola University in La Mirada, California, January 11-12, 2019, and will also be live-streamed. The members of WIA made a great choice in Laurie as their president. She is an attorney, mediator, law school pr...
