Grenz, Denise Muir Kjesbo InterVarsity Press, 1995 A Respectful, Convincing Treatment of the Subject "Historical, biblical, and theological considerations", writes Stanley J. Grenz "converge not only in allowing, but also in insisting, that women serve as full partners with men" in the work of the Christian church.

I am on page 316 and don't want it to end. I have written reference notes to be able to get back to those pages I want to read over and over. Born in 1940 in midwest farm country, most of my teen age years was spent wishing I would have been born a boy; I saw a man's world out there. Now as mother, and grandmother I am loving myself as crone, savoring every word Joan Gould has written on her ...             Men and Women in the Church: Building Consensus on Christian Leadership33 reviews Sarah Sumner InterVarsity Press, 2003 Profound and Brilliant This book is truly like none I have ever seen before. It is neither complimentarian nor egalitarian, but it offers more definitive answers than either position has about certain gender issues. I admit I was frusterated when first coming across this book's reviews; they managed to say a lot about the book without clarifying Sumner's exact stance on certain matters! Only now do I see why; Sumner ...             In the Land of Invisible Women: A Female Doctor's Journey in the Saudi Kingdom20 reviews Qanta A.

Karlsen W. W. Norton & Company, 1998 so far so good.... I am reading this book for a comparative essay I have to write for school. So far it is pretty interesting.             Women in Ancient Greece6 reviews Susan Blundell Harvard University Press, 1995 A fine treatise on the women of ancient Greece This is a very insightful overview of women in ancient Greece. It's a good companion to Sarah Pomeroy's Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves: Women in Classical Antiquity. Pomeroy's book is a pioneering work in women's historicity, while Blundell expounds on some of the themes. Blundell spends just one chapter on the women of Sparta. This is understandable, but Spartan women are a marked ...             Motherhood, the Elephant in the Laboratory: Women Scientists Speak Out Cornell University Press, 2008 A.

B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2001 Bible-chicks rule! This is not as specialized a reference work as you would suspect from the title. The six introductory articles are among the best I have read on the development of the canon, hermeneutics, and the status of biblical scholarship. These run a mere ten or sixteen columns each, yet feel comprehensive. They reveal the editors' infatutuation with statistical information (numbers of male named in the ...             Women in Late Antiquity: Pagan and Christian Lifestyles (Clarendon Paperbacks)1 review Gillian Clark Oxford University Press, USA, 1994 Intelligent and fascinating look at women in the past! This book is a fascinating look into women's lives in late antiquity. It goes into great detail about health (medicine), marriage, inheritance, household duties, and pregnancy as well as such topics as the different rights women had in the past. What I really loved about this book was that it wasn't a feminist reading about all the injustices put upon women. The author gives clear facts ...             Women in Film Noir British Film Institute, 1998 Published in 1978, the first edition of this text assembled scholars and critics committed to understanding the cinema in terms of gender, sexuality, politics, psychoanalysis and semiotics.

Wadsworth Publishing, 2006 Good Book with Good Information I used the older version of this textbook for a class on Women's history, and this version pairs nicely with the older. It is filled with interesting essays and diary entries from women who experienced and lived through the best and worst times of history. Each account is riveting in its own right. Worth having on the shelf as a resource and makes for a great history text.             The Westminster Handbook to Women in American Religious History Susan Hill Lindley, Eleanor J. Stebner, ...

Women's Ministry in the Local Church, authored by J. Ligon Duncan and Susan Hunt, is a practical book that seeks to provide guidance on how and why a church can and should have an effective women's ministry.

In this book, Faith D'Aluisio revisits 19 of the 30 families featured in the Material World to find out about the women's lives. The articles are organized alphabetically, together with short ...             Powder: Writing by Women in the Ranks, from Vietnam to Iraq Edited by Lisa Bowden and Shannon Cain Kore Press, 2008 POWDER brings us poetry and personal essays from 19 women who have served in all branches of the United States military.
