Description

Encountering God in Tyrannical TextsThe Bible includes any number of oetyrannical texts that have proved to be profoundly oppressive in the lives of many people. Among them are Pauline texts that have circumscribed the lives and ministries of women throughout Christian history. What are people who honor Scripture to do with such texts, and what does it mean to speak of biblical authority in their presence? In Encountering God in Tyrannical Texts, Frances Taylor Gench provides strategies

The Bible includes any number of oetyrannical texts � that have proved to be profoundly oppressive in the lives of many people. Among them are Pauline texts that have circumscribed the lives and ministries of women throughout Christian history. What are people who honor Scripture to do with such texts, and what does it mean to speak of biblical authority in their presence? In Encountering God in Tyrannical Texts, Frances Taylor Gench provides strategies for engaging such texts with integritythat is, without dismissing them, whitewashing them, or acquiescing to themand as potential sources of edification for the church. Gench also facilitates reflection on the nature and authority of Scripture.

Encountering God in Tyrannical Texts provides access to feminist scholarship that can inform preaching and teaching of problematic Pauline texts and encourages public engagement with them.

Runs Small
Size: Medium, Color: Pink
My daughter usually wears a 7-8. Size 8 pants have to have the elastic pulled tight. I got the size M (8 years). It was way too tight on her. Had to send it back. We did like the way it looked and felt, but just too small.

Very compressive
Size: Large, Color: Pink
Super compressive for girls clothes. Great dress though, my daughter didn't love the feel of the super tight athletic wear feel though.
