AWOMEN: A Serious Look at Religion

Religion has always stood at the intersection of belief, culture, and power. For centuries, it has shaped civilizations, justified empires, and inspired liberation. Yet, as Rondie Pottinger reminds us in AWOMEN , religion is also a tapestry of stories—borrowed, adapted, and often weaponized.
This work is not merely a critique of traditional Christianity, but a recovery project. It re-centers the African contribution to spirituality, exposes the historical edits and suppressions in scripture, and brings to light the wisdom traditions that both predate and parallel the biblical narrative. Pottinger challenges readers to engage with faith not as blind inheritance but as active inquiry. His exploration reveals how myths were transformed into doctrines, how politics created saviors, and how power redefined truth.
AWOMEN is both a mirror and a compass. It asks us to see religion as it is—humanly constructed—and then guides us back to a deeper spirituality rooted in change and balance, truth, and universal justice. In a world still wrestling with dogma, division, and domination, this book stands as an urgent call: to awaken, to re-examine, and to reclaim the divine within ourselves and our heritage. Awomen.
