Jocelyn Andersen takes back major ground [for women] in her book....Jocelyn
Andersen's book, "Woman this is War," named for a play on the words of
John MacArthur concerning marriage, is a must read....read the rest of this 5 STAR review HERE
Author and speaker,
Jocelyn Andersen, is a domestic violence survivor. She is pro-life and
outspoken for women’s rights—especially for Christian
women’s rights.
These have adversely effected
understanding of the scriptures, relations between women and men, the happiness
of men and women, and, in general, has hindered the work of the gospel, by
forbidding women to preach, pastor, or serve as elders or deacons. The book
chronicles the early history of the women's rights movements, as well as the
role of church leadership in aggressively suppressing both women's rights and
the historical record of Christian initiatives within the movements.
Through the complementarian
movement, many of the same arguments used to support the institution of
slavery, are still used today in suppressing the rights of Christian women.
This book documents identical arguments used by Christian leaders against both
movements and is an unparalleled resource for all who desire an in-depth study
of gender equality from a historical and Christian perspective.
This book traces history of
women’s rights, much further than usual, to the very first feminists…who
were Christians—godly women, who brought the issue of women's rights to the
forefront as they struggled to alleviate the suffering of others, and found they
were hindered in doing so for no other reason than the fact of their sex. This
work, provides valuable historical insight into Christian initiatives in the
movements for women’s rights, that are rarely included in Christian literature Woman this is WAR! Gender Slavery and the Evangelical Caste System, (click link for e-book or paperback)
