Too feminist for me,
This review is from: Women in the New Testament (Paperback)
There was an strong underlying theme throughout that seemed very feminist and negative to me. It was hard to learn something about the women in the New Testament because I was too distracted by what seemed negative comments about the gospel writers being too androcentric and patriarchal. The statement that Phoebe was the first named deacon was misleading until I figured out that she was the first named in writing (Romans was written before Acts) but not the first deacon named (the first deacons ever named were in Acts 6). That's a long way to go to try to promote women deacons. Things like that I found disturbing.

I highly reccomend this book for anyone interested in the Bible, women of the Bible or their faith in general. |
