This book looks into how certain words can lose their meaning when translated, which is exactly what has happened with much of the Scripture as we (English speaking people) have come to know it. Dr. John Bristow looks at the meanings for the actual words that Paul used in his writings and how they were mistranslated by those who bought into the Greek/ Pagan ideas of that time that women were nothing more than property. These mistranslations have become the traditional teachings which have become some of the most controversial pieces in Scripture.Of course, many people do not like having their traditional viewpoint on equality of the sexes challenged, or their ideas of how following their man made rules (like how a person should dress, for example) will get you "closer to God," which is exactly what this book does. It challenges the traditional view points that people have bought into from incorrect translations made in by people who translated from a personal bias, infusing the philosophy of pagan scholars with how they thought Paul should be teaching. But remember that Jesus and Paul both challenged the traditional teachings of their time periods as well.My personal experience with this book: This book has been very enlightening. I feel that it is helping me to come closer to God in a time when I have seriously been considering walking away because of how so many Christians have bought into the traditional Greek/ Pagan ideas that women are nothing more than second-class citizens. Biblical Scripture says otherwise when you look at the actual words that Paul used and their real meanings, which is exactly what Dr. John Bristow has done. Jesus came to call ALL people, regardless of race or gender, to be equal heirs in God's Kingdom (Romans 8:17) if they come to him by faith. He never said that we are to come by legalistic, man made, and/or pagan rules or beliefs.
This book is a fine treatise on what the greatest writer of Biblical doctrine had to say about the role of women. It can, and should, be used to quickly and thoroughly refute anyone who questions that women have a visible, active, beautiful, and important role in the family and church. The author knows his Greek and Hebrew languages well, and he is very familiar with how the Classical cultures shaped the mindset of early Christians. He easily and thoroughly explains this in plain English for the average literate person to understand.That said, a couple of his interpretations fall short. In chapter 2, most notably, he correctly asserts that wives are not to be "ruled" by their husbands like servants by a dictator. He states that the husband is more like the physical head of a body or the leader of an army, he who charges into battle first. However, Bristow then asserts that this form of headship or military leadership conveys no kind of actual leadership by the husband over his wife at all. This is pure logical fallacy - one cannot liken a husband to a military leader whom his troops follow into battle and then say that this is not leadership. Further, to do this robs Christ of His active leadership of the Church. It's plain as day for Christians - wives are to support their husbands' leadership of the family in a marriage as we are all to support Christ's leadership of the Church in church.This glaring fallacy notwithstanding, this is still an excellent book. I recommend it for anyone serious about understanding God's view of how Humankind in His image is supposed to function.
This book was absolutely amazing!! I don't think I can say amazing enough in regards to reviewing this book. Let me first start by saying that I am indeed a feminist but I was raised in the church. I was raised that men are the head of the household and women are supposed to submit in some form to their husbands. I was also raised that women had the spirit of Jezebel, we shouldn't be comfortable with our bodies and cover up and we should in essence act as white as possible because our African roots were witchcraft and uncivilized. Therefore, I always had an issue with the church and in turn Christianity. Since my adult life I have always been a social justice person, academically, politically and socially. I always wanted things to be equal for human beings and for a God that loves us how we are and if we all sin why are some sins more damning than others and why as a woman am I less than?!? I came across the book Jesus Feminist and it was a good start but didn't give enough information that I craved for. (I am a nerd and a graduate student and I need hardcore facts and evidence that can be backed up empirically to make a point.) This book was a gift from God and an affirmation of his love for me being black and a female. Bristow not only added verses to back up his argument for equality but gave background information and history to solidify that point. He gave in depth definitions for the words that we have gotten so confused about in the church and reminded the reader that Paul was for social justice and equality, even among women. When it came to dressing and telling women to be silent he gave valid reason for what was taking place in the churches at the time when Paul wrote his letters and what he was trying to address. What I love most about this is that many pastors today read the description with their own views of culture and society and do not think about what he was dealing with back then! This book cleared up so many answers for me on this topic and restored my faith in love and marriage. While I still have other questions in regard to Christianity I feel as though this book has put me back on the right direction and renewed my faith. All I can do is thank John Bristow for researching, writing and blessing me with this book.
