Ilustration During Books Jesus Feminist: An Invitation to Revisit the Bible's View of Women

Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women’s diverse voices and experiences.

A freedom song for the church.

Sarah Bessey didn’t ask for Jesus to come in and mess up all her ideas about a woman’s place in the world and in the church. But patriarchy, she came to learn, was not God’s dream for humanity.

Bessey engages critically with Scripture in this gentle and provocative love letter to the Church. Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women’s diverse voices and experiences.

It’s at once a call to find freedom in the fullness, hope, glory, and work of Christ, and a very personal and moving story of how Jesus made a feminist out of her.

Notice About Books Jesus Feminist: An Invitation to Revisit the Bible's View of Women

Going in, I was looking forward to what insights the author might be able to share as far as the Biblical view of feminism. However, it felt like the best ideas in the book came from outside sources. There wasn't much in the way of Biblical revelation---mostly biographical information. Yes, we all know awesome women who do awesome things for God. The women who are tight with God and listen to his calling don't actually need this book---they're already making a difference and are pushed out by

*I received an ARC from NetGalley for the purposes of this review.*I am pretty much the target audience for this book in every category: I love Jesus, I am a feminist, and I read Sarah Bessey's blog religiously (ahem). Basically I was headed into the book prepared to love it and give it to all of my Jesus-loving girlfriends.I think Bessey is a fantastic writer. I enjoy her style and her voice, and particularly appreciate her thoughtfulness and graciousness in approaching difficult subjects. That

As others have said, the title is a bit misleading, because although she does make reference to the passages about women serving in the church and the culture at the time Paul was writing his letters, there is little about what it means specifically to be a feminist in relation to the bible. However, she talks a great deal about what feminism (really, treating all human beings as, well, human) means to her. There is a lot of poetic writing (a little too much) and some very sound, very biblical

Sarah Bessey boldly writes about the message of Jesus and its intersections with feminism while keeping her arms open and creating space for all. I've followed Sarah's blog for years now. I knew that something like this book was in the works, and even I am still surprised at how she managed to take a strong and decisive line about the importance of equality and dignity for women in the message of Jesus without aiming shots at potential critics or opponents. Sarah opens the book with a metaphor

Bullet Review:The title is HUGELY misleading. This isn't an in-depth scriptural analysis of Jesus and how he was a feminist. There are a few clobber verses trotted out and explained but that is only a couple of chapters.By far, most of the book is frothy, overly-emotional mumbo-jumbo hoopla about how women pursue social causes (duh), how awesome that is (double duh), and the author's personal history. This is great and all, but this isn't about how Jesus was a feminist; in fact, I have NO CLUE



I am a huge fan of Sarah Bessey's blog and I would love to sit down and have a cup of coffee/wine/tea/whatever with her someday and chat. She seems like an authentic, loving person. Which is why it's hard for me to only rate this 3 stars. What I liked about Jesus Feminist: She tackles some of the hard passages of Scripture about women. I particularly liked when she talked about how slavery was never treated as "bad" in the Bible - though she points out Scripture that encourages people to be
