Whispers of Liberation: Feminist Perspectives on the New TestamentThe idea of a feminist approach to Scripture often produces knee-jerk reactions that one's in for mangled language at best and an anti-Christian attitude at worst. In this clear, highly readable work, Nicholas King explains the feminist approach to Scripture and the reasons and aims behind it. The author makes the approach accessible and sympathetic to those both interested in and alarmed by the topic. |
