Stained Glass Ceilings speaks to the intersection of gender and
power within American evangelicalism by examining the formation of
evangelical leaders in two seminary communities.Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary inspires a vision of human flourishing through
gender differentiation and male headship. Men practice “Godly
Manhood,"Â and are taught to act as the "head" of a family,
while their wives are socialized into codes of “Godly Womanhood"
that prioritize prescribed gender roles. This power
structure privileges men yet offers agency to their wives in
women-centered spaces and through marital relationships. Meanwhile,
Asbury Theological Seminary promises freedom from gendered
hierarchies. Appealing to a story of gender-blind equality, Asbury
welcomes women into classrooms, administrative offices, and
pulpits. But the institution’s construction of
egalitarianism obscures the fact that women are rewarded for
adapting to an existing male-centered status quo rather than
for developing their own voices as women. Featuring high-profile
evangelicals such as Al Mohler and Owen Strachan, along
with young seminarians poised to lead the movement in the
coming decades, Stained Glass Ceilings illustrates the liabilities
of white evangelical toolkits and argues that evangelical
culture upholds male-centered structures of power even as it
facilitates meaning and identity.
