What Paul Really Said About Women: The Apostle's Liberating Views on Equality in Marriage, Leadership, and Love Review: No Christian Collection Should Be Without This Book - This book was absolutely amazing!! I don't think I can say amazing enough in regards to reviewing this book. Let me first start by saying that I am indeed a feminist but I was raised in the church. I was raised that men are the head of the household and women are supposed to submit in some form to their husbands. I was also raised that women had the spirit of Jezebel, we shouldn't be comfortable with our bodies and cover up and we should in essence act as white as possible because our African roots were witchcraft and uncivilized. Therefore, I always had an issue with the church and in turn Christianity. Since my adult life I have always been a social justice person, academically, politically and socially. I always wanted things to be equal for human beings and for a God that loves us how we are and if we all sin why are some sins more damning than others and why as a woman am I less than?!? I came across the book Jesus Feminist and it was a good start but didn't give enough information that I craved for. (I am a nerd and a graduate student and I need hardcore facts and evidence that can be backed up empirically to make a point.) This book was a gift from God and an affirmation of his love for me being black and a female. Bristow not only added verses to back up his argument for equality but gave background information and history to solidify that point. He gave in depth definitions for the words that we have gotten so confused about in the church and reminded the reader that Paul was for social justice and equality, even among women. When it came to dressing and telling women to be silent he gave valid reason for what was taking place in the churches at the time when Paul wrote his letters and what he was trying to address. What I love most about this is that many pastors today read the description with their own views of culture and society and do not think about what he was dealing with back then! This book cleared up so many answers for me on this topic and restored my faith in love and marriage. While I still have other questions in regard to Christianity I feel as though this book has put me back on the right direction and renewed my faith. All I can do is thank John Bristow for researching, writing and blessing me with this book. Review: Great book - Good book. Lots of thought and research. Confirms what I've always known, that women can also teach and lead church ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #326,159 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #404 in Paul's Letters (Books) #959 in Christian Social Issues (Books) #2,233 in Christian Women's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (288) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.32 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0060610638 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0060610630 | | Item Weight | 3.99 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | March 1, 1991 | | Publisher | HarperOne | ## Images ![What Paul Really Said About Women: The Apostle's Liberating Views on Equality in Marriage, Leadership, and Love - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KlBTkoTqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Christian Collection Should Be Without This Book *by A***R on January 5, 2014* This book was absolutely amazing!!

Confirms what I've always known, that women can also teach and lead church ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I was taught Paul said is NOT what he really said!!! *by G***Y on January 10, 2026* Paul actually SUPPORTED the active, equal roles of women in the church! This answered so many questions I had about apparent discrepancies in the Pauline letters. Many translations, historical, political and cultural changes have impacted the orginal meanings of texts. This book refers to the original languages, cultural and historic contexts to give clarity to scriptures. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8138235-what-paul-really-said-about-women-the-apostles-liberating-views](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8138235-what-paul-really-said-about-women-the-apostles-liberating-views) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
