Résumé,
This study examines religions exigencies and sexual exploitation by church officials on the vulnerable converts in Mongo Beti's The Poor Christ of Bomba and Kenjo Jumbam's The White Man of God. It is an analysis of Mongo Bei and Kenjo Jumbam's fiction in which religion is identified as a key element in the oppression and exploitation of women. Using the New Historicism theory, the study is carried out against the challenge of the idelogies and cultural definition of some groups of people that subject women to religious repression. The study depcts not only women as victims of religion but also women as active participants against sexual exploitation. Through the study, we realized that religious institutions interacted with social realities at the detriment of women. This work is written against the backdrop of the hypothetical contention that religious officials in Mongo Beti's The Poor Christ of Bomba and Kenjo Jumbam's The White Man of God use the churche as a medium to exploit women sexually and that sexual exploitation brings about negative consequences on both the victims and the perpetrators.
