Apparently throwing in a book authored by a female enhances its value to most of churchianity today where the idol of feminism reigns supreme. But the Bible is not the least bit unclear about whether a woman should speak, teach, or exercise authority in the ekklesia.

What a fabulous collection!!! The price is right for a parish library. In fact, the price is almost a "giveaway" for these volumes with the incredible study enhancement of Logos thrown in. Unfortunately, it's out of my range on a fixed income. I hope that the $399 price tag speeds it into production for those who have been able to pre-order it.
