The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr, Beth Allison Barr
5.0
This is an important book. Well researched. (26 pages of notes citing references). Historical. Compelling. Important for our time. This woman knows of what she speaks: https://www.baylor.edu/cll/index.php?id=873976
How do you undo a story that has been told the wrong way for so long?
Don't write this book off because it states facts differently than you have always had them presented to you. A friend recommended this book to me and I greatly appreciate it.
"What if we realized that God has never stopped calling women to do his work - as preachers, teachers, missionaries, evangelists, and authors? What if we realized that when we look at the whole of the global world it simply doesn't make sense to define occupations by gender? What does make sense is Paul's reminder that all our work is important and that by doing what we are called to do, we build up the Body of Christ together. What if we finally stood together, united by our belief in Jesus instead of divided by arguments over power and authority?"
