Contents:
Into the center pulpit : a dangerous dream -- Redigging the old wells : the Christian woman versus woman's lib -- A rattlesnake in the house : the beginning of the controversy -- First tier in the realm of salvation : gracious submission -- Behold a new thing? : moderate life.
Summary: The debate over women's roles in the Southern Baptist Convention's conservative ascendance is often seen as secondary to theological and biblical concerns. Elizabeth Flowers argues, however, that for both moderate and conservative Baptist women--all of whom had much at stake--disagreements that touched on their familial roles and ecclesial authority have always been primary. And, in the turbulent postwar era, debate over their roles caused fierce internal controversy. While the legacy of race and civil rights lingered well into the 1990s, views on women's submission to male authority provided.
