Excellent Book!
I teach at the college level on The Biblical Role of Men and Women. I found this book to be well written, and life changing to the people in my class. Highly recommended to all wanting to know how in the world that Jesus---The Prince of Peace---ever allowed his followers to become abused or abusers! HE DIDN'T! Violence is NEVER allowed! Get a copy of it, and the other books that speak against the ...

Review: Refuge from abuse
Directed toward past and present sufferers of domestic abuse, this book gleans expertise from authors with two diverse backgrounds--Nancy Nason-Clark, a sociologist, and Cathie Clark Kroger, a biblical scholar--to provide multi-dimensional insight into the insidious reality of domestic violence. Hands down, the greatest values of this book are (1) its breadth of topic--investigating many issues ...

The Ivp Women's Bible Commentary

2 reviews

InterVarsity Press, 2002

Excellent, orthodox and scholarly.
This is a monumental achievement. It is grounded in classic, historical, orthodox Christian theology, but with a perspective that uncovers layers of cultural bias to reveal the unvarnished Biblical truth underneath. There is an impressive list of international contributors from a variety of denominational perspectives. In addition to the excellent commentary, there are 77 supplemental articles ...

Baker Academic, 1998

Very Freeing
I found this to be a very fresh and scholarly look at some very difficult scriptures. This book did an excellent job of uncovering some of the prejuidices and errors that have been misread into these scriptures. I am a very conservative scholar myself and some explanations would not be acceptable. However the Kroegers have used solid hermenuetics and I found their research very complete. I ...

Reflections: Biblical and Otherwise about Sexuality

Is it possible to present an understanding of the Bible's precepts in a way that is respectful of all people as well as faithful to Scripture? Is it possible to sense the deep pain that some brought with them and the longing for ...
