WOW a book for today's CHURCH

How did this book ever get out of print? This is a must read for the Church today, as we grow spiritually deeper. My "daughter in love" (a young physician) recommended this to me. It is my hope that together we will grow into these roles in our various churches. It is must read by both men and women today in the American Church. I will be recommending and purchasing many copies of this book to share.

BUY IT.

This book is challenging, a must read for every Christian woman. It looks at how Jesus saw women, the history of women in the Church, Paul's views on women, and current evangelical views of women, and challenges women of today to return to their "first love" instead of counting on a role (mother, wife, career woman, etc.) to give her fulfillment.

An alternative to hard-core feminism and/or traditionalism.

Kari Malcolm's heritage uniquely equips her to deal with the role of women in society and in the church, in particular. She traces women's roles within the context of Greek, Roman and Jewish cultures as these cultures come into conflict with the emerging Christian faith, a faith which was persecuted, in part, because it had such a liberating effect on women. Malcom traces how this stands in contrast to what Western culture has done to women until, ironically, the arrival of radical feminism forced us to re-examine our thinking. Malcolm deals with the most difficult passages of St. Paul's teachings within their historical context in a convincingly low-key fashion. No strident, vituperative female, here. Just one whose book deserves to be read and re-read, especially Chapter Six, "Paul and Women." Incidentally, I'm male, raised and wed in mutuality. Both genders should read this book, if you desire the same in your cross-gender relationships
