Title: Women and the Authority of Scripture
Description: "This Book is the first to affirm the authority of the Bible without denying the authority of women to speak truly about the problems that the Bible presents for them. Sarah Lancaster asserts that women do have the authority to interpret Scripture in light of their own experiences.".

"Lancaster looks at the many ways women have up to now dealt with the authority of the Bible: accepting it without question and staying in the church; denying it and leaving the church; recognizing that while Scripture is largely patriarchal, it is authoritative for the life of faith. She offers a new perspective, arguing that Scripture informs, forms, and transforms.

Women can criticize those things in Scripture that help maintain a patriarchal world without invalidating Scripture's authority."--BOOK JACKET.
