Review: The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women became Gospel Truth, by Beth Allison Barr

February 1, 2023February 2, 2023 / Daniel Waugh / Leave a comment

I went into this book hoping I'd like it. After all, I agree with Barr's egalitarian position regarding women in the church (though putting my cards on the table, I am a complementarian when it comes to the home).
