reviewed Medieval Virginities on June 21, 2017 Medieval Virginities
This book is excellent for Christian non-feminists who have little to no understanding of the issue. If youre like me and you're a nerd for anything having to do with philosophy, hermeneutics, and feminism, then this book is going to be pretty basic for you. While the author certainly takes modern evangelical culture to task, the writing style is very gentle and most complementarian folk would probably not find it too threatening (I would say the author himself has a pretty conservative down to earth attitude, so they won't feel like they are being talked down to). It's very simple, lucid, easy-to-read, and touches on some legitimate questions people usually have. If you've never studied this topic before, then chances are this book will help you learn a lot about the Bible and church history that you didn't know. It's also a great book for teens.
