Remember those talks about how to be a "Biblical" woman, or a Proverbs 31 woman? What if it was never about the Bible? Professor Beth Allison Barr talks us through the cultural forces that shaped how the church treated women from the medieval period to the Reformation to where we are today.
Our partners get to hear Dr. Barr explain how women have been written out of the English Bible, and you can too by joining today for $3/month.
