Buy now to get the main key ideas from Beth Allison Barr's The Making of Biblical Womanhood

 

The place of women in religion, and in Christianity in particular, has long been a subject of debate and scrutiny. Why have women been treated as inferior to men in Christianity? Where did that tradition stem from?

In The Making of Biblical Womanhood (2021), Beth Allison Barr argues that the concept of biblical womanhood, which is the belief that God made women as subservient and domestic subjects, isn’t inherent to the Bible but was rather built throughout history. Biblical womanhood developed as civilization and culture changed over time.

Basing her analysis on history, religion, and personal experience, Barr elucidates how biblical womanhood stems from cultural hegemony rather than the Word of God.
