In Holy Misogyny, bible scholar April DeConick wants real answers
to the questions that are rarely whispered from the pulpits of the
contemporary Christian churches. Why is God male? Why are women
associated with sin? Why can't women be priests? Drawing on her
extensive knowledge of the early Christian literature, she seeks to
understand the conflicts over sex and gender in the early church -
what they were and what was at stake. She explains how these
ancient conflicts have shaped contemporary Christianity and its
promotion of male exclusivity and superiority in terms of God,
church leadership, and the bed. DeConick's detective work uncovers
old aspects of Christianity before later doctrines and dogmas were
imposed upon the churches, and the earlier teachings about the
female were distorted. Holy Misogyny shows how the female was
systematically erased from the Christian tradition, and why. She
concludes that the distortion and erasure of the female is the
result of ancient misogyny made divine writ, a holy misogyny that
remains with us today.
