Throughout history, women have often been devalued and seen as unequal to men. This book turns our focus to the Bible to see how we should view women.
The aim is clearly stated in the opening pages: not to address different church practice in women’s ministry, but to address the fear that God does not exalt and dignify women. This is something the author says she has grappled with herself, having grown up thinking being a woman meant particular interests and role and that being a woman was second class. She writes throughout with extensive reference to history, literature and culture to show how this can be seen.
