Conservative American Christianity has insisted that we must not let the wider culture determine what we think or do; and yet, Dr. Barr argues, it's precisely on the issue of the subordination of women that the conservative American church has been so deeply shaped by the broader culture of patriarchy. Then that patriarchy has been read back into the prescriptions of the New Testament, rather than seeing the profound critiques of patriarchy actually found in the New Testament. This and more, all playing off Dr. Barr’s book The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth. Plus live satire from Tokens Show’s own Brother Preacher, aka Greg Lee.
