Maybe April's book is more needed in some places that others I guess.

Added in edit: Just out of interest, have you had the experience of men using this verse to say that women were sinful? If so can you say where this happened?

thanks

These days, few people will say so out loud. But that's only because Hell hath no fury as a Woman denigrated with ancient religious texts.

How do you know what people are thinking though, and afraid to say out loud?

Quoting something from southern baptists provides some confirmation to my suspicion though, that being that these ideas are might be centred in parts of the united states of america among some sects.

The book is now available on Amazon.

I am really pleased with the book. It is a book that began 25 years ago when I agreed to teach a class on gender and the bible at Albion College. That was a long time ago. Back then I didn't have the faintest idea that I would want to write a book on gender, let alone do it. I did not study gender in graduate school. This only became an interest of mine when I began teaching. Each time I taught the class and revised it, I became more and more shocked at what I was finding in the early Christian literature, and was frustrated that this material was not being covered in books authored about early Christianity. I couldn't understand why because the material was so important. So eventually I overcame my own anxieties about not having been formally trained in gender studies, and wrote the book myself.
