Jesus & Women: What Saith The Scripture?
Feminism takes a lot of digs at Holy Writ's treatment of women... does it hold up?
You’d expect the closing chapter of a biography written to inspire belief in Jesus to hit the important points, right? Did you expect to see this portrayal of women right in the midst of it?
Think about what you would pack into your closing arguments, and what you would leave out.
Would you include the embarrassing parts that make your story harder to believe? Or would those bits be glossed over and left out as much as possible?
Not the gospels. They leave all the embarrassing stuff in there. They knew that leaving out the embarrassing bits would make it more believable — but at the cost of leaving out what really happened.
Go ahead and compare that to how other religious allow anything negative to be said about their founders. Some of them will even burn down cities over a cartoon portrayal.
But Christianity is true… so it doesn’t have to play any silly PR games.
And that brings us to the WILD portrayal of women in the mission-critical closing chapter of Mark.
In Doug Giles’ latest book, Biblical Badasses: The Women, Giles spotlights ten epic ladies who did awesome things for God with the odds severely stacked against them. These girls weren’t your typical church ladies. They were holy movers and shakers who upset hell with their God-honoring, faith-filled, lives. Giles’ unique take on these terrific women makes the scripture come alive. This book is real, raw, relevant, and irreverent. Giles’ prayer is that after reading, Biblical Badasses: The Women, not only will your noggin be filled with these amazing tales of high and lows from real women who rocked in a hard place, via the power of God, but that you will get off your butt, quit pursuing stupidity, start chasing down your high calling and at the end of your life, you too, like the holy femme fatales featured herein, will have left a massive scar on Satan’s haggard backside.
