Beth Allison Barr, autora de éxitos de venta, revela que la comprensión convencional de los roles y expectativas de género, frecuentemente vinculada al concepto de "feminidad bíblica", no se originó en la Biblia misma, sino que evolucionó a partir de distintas circunstancias históricas.

Este libro traslada la conversación sobre la feminidad bíblica más allá de la gramática griega y al ámbito de la historia de la iglesia, antigua, medieval y moderna, para mostrar que esta creencia no está ordenada divinamente, sino es un producto de la civilización humana que continúa infiltrándose en la iglesia.

La feminidad bíblica, la creencia de que Dios diseñó a las mujeres para ser esposas sumisas, madres virtuosas y alegres amas de casa, impregna el cristianismo norteamericano. Desde decisiones sobre carreras hasta roles en iglesias locales y las dinámicas de relaciones, esta creencia moldea la vida cotidiana de las mujeres evangélicas. Sin embargo, la feminidad bíblica no es bíblica, dice Beth Allison Barr, historiadora de la Universidad de Baylor. Surgió de una serie de momentos históricos claramente definibles.

Las percepciones históricas de Barr brindan contexto para las enseñanzas contemporáneas sobre los roles de las mujeres en la iglesia y ayudan a avanzar la conversación. Entrelazando su historia como esposa de un pastor bautista, Barr arroja luz sobre el movimiento #ChurchToo y los escándalos de abuso en círculos Bautistas del Sur y el mundo evangélico en general, ayudando a los lectores a comprender por qué la feminidad bíblica tiene más que ver con estructuras de poder humanas que con el mensaje de Cristo.

The Making of Biblical Womanhood

Within the pages of this bestseller, Beth Allison Barr reveals that the conventional understanding of gender roles and expectations, frequently linked to the concept of "biblical womanhood," did not originate from the Bible itself but rather evolved from distinct historical circumstances.

This book moves the conversation about biblical womanhood beyond Greek grammar and into the realm of church history--ancient, medieval, and modern--to show that this belief is not divinely ordained but a product of human civilization that continues to creep into the church.

Biblical womanhood--the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers--pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It arose from a series of clearly definable historical moments. Barr's historical insights provide context for contemporary teachings about women's roles in the church and help move the conversation forward. Interweaving her story as a Baptist pastor's wife, Barr sheds light on the #ChurchToo movement and abuse scandals in Southern Baptist circles and the broader evangelical world, helping readers understand why biblical womanhood is more about human power structures than the message of Christ.
