Becoming the Pastor's Wife: How Marriage Replaced as a Woman's Path to Ministry


Listen Later

Dr. Beth Allison Barris the James Vardaman Professor of History at Baylor University. She earned her PhD in Medieval History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is the bestselling author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth.


In this episode we talk about her latest book, Becoming the Pastor's Wife: How Marriage Replaced Ordination as a Woman's Path to Ministry.


We discuss:

  • The role of the pastor's wife
  • Complementarianism and how it bolsters gendered divisions in church leadership
  • The "First Lady" in the Black church tradition and how it differs from white evangelical conceptions of the "pastor's wife"
  • The aggressive sexism and patriarchy we're seeing in the political realm and how that connects to the church
