The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth — Beth Allison Barr
What if much of what Christians have been taught about “biblical womanhood” owes more to history and culture than to the Bible itself?
Historian Beth Allison Barr examines the development of Christian patriarchy across centuries of church history, tracing how ideas about women, authority, marriage, and leadership became embedded in modern evangelical culture. Drawing on her work as a medieval historian, Barr challenges the idea that women’s subordination represents an unchanging biblical tradition and highlights women whose roles in Christian history often get overlooked.
Thought-provoking, accessible, and built for readers interested in the intersection of women’s history, Christianity, gender, and religious culture.
