| Description: |
The Bible includes any number of "tyrannical texts" that have proved to be profoundly oppressive in the lives of many people. Among them are the Pauline texts that have circumscribed the lives and ministries of women throughout Christian history. What are people who honor Scripture to do with such texts, and what does it mean to speak of biblical authority in their presence? The author provides strategies for engaging such texts with integrity--that is, without dismissing them, whitewashing them, or acquiescing to them--and as poential sources of edification for the church. Gench also reflects on the nature and authority of Scripture. |
