Veiled And Silenced

by Alvin J. Schmidt

Overview

Weaving together evidence from sociolgy, anthropology, history, and biblical studies, this book shows that patriarchal and hierarchial views of gender arise from agrarian culture, along with images of woman as unequal, inferior, unclean, and evil. . . . This book is a valuable resource for theologically conservative Christians who are trying to rethink the connenction between thoeology and gender.

Editorial Reviews

A curious and frustrating book that, under the veil of liberal sociological analysis, deflects charges of theological sexism by projecting the sources of sexism into the cultural matrix of some vague pagan-agrarian never-never-land. As though the Church, as though Judeo-Christianity were only the object of culture and never a subject working its will through the world. Paper edition (327-5), $19.95. (RC) Annotation c.
