Veiled and Silenced: How Culture Shaped Sexist Theology (Series) Alvin J. Schmidt

Weaving together evidence from sociolgy, anthropology, history, and biblical studies, this book shows that patriarchal and hierarchial views of gender arise from agrarian culture, along with images of woman as unequal, inferior, unclean, and evil. . . . This book is a valuable resource for theologically conservative Christians who are trying to rethink the connenction between thoeology and gender.
