I was attracted to this book because of one word - Feminism; but this book is important because of the first word in the title - Evangelical. Cochran skillfully weaves the history of American evangelicalism into the story of biblical feminism. Like salve for my open wounds, I was blessed by Cochran's ability to discuss feminist theological issues honestly. But more importantly, I was blessed by her explanations of evangelicalism. This book is important to the greater Christian community because it places the conversation about biblical feminism within the context of the broader discussion of biblical inerrancy and interpretation.

Am I a feminist? Maybe. But no matter the answer to the question, I am equipped to join the ongoing discussion of biblical feminism. No longer will this discussion be divorced from the history of evangelicalism. That is why this book is important.
