In this book, Rachel Held Evans takes every passage the Bible includes about women as literally as possible. She explains how the church has often seen biblical passages as prescriptive for women's roles in the home, the church, the workplace, and in marriages. Evans points to the deeper truths found within the context of the biblical times in this liberating Christian feminist manifesto.
