16 - Deconstructing Complementarianism (The Making of Biblical Womanhood Book Review)

My whole life I've believed that complementarianism was clearly biblical and that those who argued for an egalitarian reading of Scripture were sacrificing biblical authority to do so. Beth Allison Barr's book, however, lays out a pretty convincing case that egalitarianism is the most natural reading of Scripture as a whole and that patriarchal structures twisted the Bible to gain power and to translate Scripture according to their desired interpretation. This is my review of the book The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr.
