About the Author

Dr Jude Jeanville is a pastor, theologian, magistrate and author based in England, United Kingdom. With over 32 years in full-time ministry, he has served as a university vice president, magistrate, and dedicated pastor. His journey began far from the pulpit — from repairing watches in his teens to breaking company sales records — before theology, philosophy and psychology became his life's study.


A proud father of three and grandfather of three, Dr Jeanville grew up in a patriarchal home, church and society. That upbringing drove a lifelong question: what does the Bible actually say about women? His doctoral thesis on gender inclusiveness answered it with rigour and grace. His work affirms the Value, Visibility, Voice and Vocational opportunities of women as fundamental human rights belonging equally to men and women.

Dr Kern Tobias, President — Caribbean Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

"A cry to defend the dignity of all human beings equally, which includes an unlimited place for women around the decision-making tables of our world."
