Alumnae Receive Grant to Study “The Christian Home” in Global Protestant Thought
Two Boston University alumnae, Anneke Stasson (’13) and Soojin Chung (’18), along with Leanne Dzubinski, have recently received a Planning Grant from the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities.
They will use the funds to plan a book project on the Christian home in global Protestant thought and practice between 1800 and 2000. They will investigate questions such as the following: How have Christians around the world conceived of the relationship between husband and wife? How have they distinguished their homes, marriages, and parenting styles from those of the surrounding culture? How have they seen their homes as a site for deepening Christian discipleship and for reaching non-Christians with the love of Christ? How has Christian home ideology impacted women? As a way into their wider book project, they will write three papers on how indigenous Protestant leaders in mid-twentieth-century Asia conceived of the Christian home and sought to propagate it.
