Top Highlights

“One of the difficulties in evaluating Barr’s arguments against ‘biblical womanhood’ is that she never provides a definition of what exactly she means by that pejorative label or how she has determined who counts as authoritative spokesmen for the concept she rejects.” (Page 404)

“does Barr, as a historian, deal fairly and accurately with the proponents of ‘biblical womanhood’?” (Page 404)

“‘systematic theology’ tends to order its treatment of the theology of the Bible along logical and hierarchical lines” (Page 257)

“deal fairly and accurately with the historical evidence she cites in opposition to ‘biblical womanhood” (Page 404)

“nothing surprises or shocks me anymore’. I want to be surprised. I want to be shocked.” (Page 276)
