Patriarchy (the male domination of women) is an oppressive cultural
norm with a history that predates Christianity. Fortunately, it is
fading from our global community. Unfortunately, it persists in the
religious traditions of some corners of the institutional church.
This book examines how patriarchy became enshrined in church
tradition, both Catholic and Protestant. It also explores why male
domination continues to oppress women in the church today. It
concludes by offering women and men an egalitarian alternative to
patriarchy, best exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus
Christ. In this second edition of the book, the author delves more
deeply into issues related to Bible translation and the cultural
context of the New Testament church.
