Thank you for this well-written review. Your statement referring to several waves of feminism throughout history really intrigued me. I guess I'd always assumed it was a 20th-century phenomenon. I'd really like to read this book.

This book sounds very interesting and I am glad that I added it to my must read list. I think that a book about the Bible and feminism is something very unique. I have yet to read about a woman arguing that passages in the Bible favor egalitarianism in life and in the church. I also like that the author did a lot of research to bolster her opinions so much so that her husband became a believer.

Christianity and Feminism are two different topics that would always be difficult to debate.
One talks about superiority and while the other does not believe any party is superior to the other. As much as I wouldn't like to get my head involved in this type of discussion, I would vouch any day to read the masterpiece.
Congrats to the reviewer for making BOTD

Actually it's a matter of how mystery is been revealed to everyone. I no this book teaches a lot of things about equality. Anyway, great review

This subject matter doesn't appeal to me as it sounds too heavy. While I know that both man and woman were made in the image of God and stand equal before him, I also know that the head of a woman is the man in a family setting. Anyway, in the new system of things, God will reverse all damages caused by gender discrimination and the likes. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the thorough review of this book but based on the subject matter I don't think that this is a book that will interest me. Neither subject is one that I find myself reading so I will pass on reading this book.

Feminism is a movement that has gained a lot of ground in modern day therefore a book that helps people understand what it is all about is always welcome. It would be a good book to read sometime. Congrats to the author on the BOTD. Thanks for the review.

This is very timely and relevant in our world today. Discrimination in all forms or types should stop. In my opinion, bullying plays a large role in this. Preventing or stopping discrimination will be efficient if the character of people changes. I am very excited to dig into this book for great information and enlightenment. Congrats!

I am not religious person, but I do support the movement of feminists and still I won't be reading current book mainly because I didn't liked it's description given in review. Too much speculation, in my opinion. Anyway congrats with BOTD!
