Dave - because all things ARE about God.

In fact, there is no truth without Him, whether He is acknowledged or not.

If the truth is divisive, so be it, it is still the truth. I don’t think that it is antagonistic or paternalistic to state the truth; it is foolishness to ignore it.

I’m not sure why you say the message seems to be “if we don’t agree with you, we don’t care.” It is very curious to me why you came away with that feeling. Do you care to elaborate?

I wonder why all things need to be about god or about those who don’t believe in your god… divisive, antagonistic and paternalistic. Your message seems to be “if we don’t agree with you, we don’t care.”

Nice topic. I meet so many unhappy women and listen to their endless complaints about their husbands. Few women remember to thank God for their partner in life, and pray for him daily (even if he is awful).
I think feminism = selfishness a lot of times.

I read Mary Kassian’s “Feminist Gospel” years ago–and just unpacked it from boxes and boxes of books that have been in storage the past five years. . . Knowing her previous work has me interested in this new book. . .

Heather - You definitely do not need to do any prior study to understand Kassian’s book. It works just fine as a “read alone.”

My husband and I have been discussing feminism lately as it relates to a study I’m doing on a woman’s hair being both her glory and a ‘covering’ that is even recognized by the angels as her place under her husband in God’s chain of command.

We discussed how current day ‘views’ on a woman’s purposeful ’subjection’ to her husband is looked down upon as weak or culturally unnecessary.

I am very interested in this book, but curious if it follows Kassian’s previous book or is an easy ‘read alone’ without the former publication.

Sounds like its right up the alley of any Bible-believer, for that matter. I may have to give it a read. The downward trend of family and church in the past 100 or so years has always made for interesting study.
