I have a whole syllabus of resources. My own personal favorite, that i use for sermons and sunday schools, is the IVP's Women's Bible Commentary (kroeger&evans). I also highly recommend Christians for Biblical Equality http://www.cbeinternational.org You can find a lot of resources on their website. Thanks for the book review and being willing to write about this issue! As an alum of Fuller Seminary, i was privileged to take a class by Dr. David Scholer, before he passed.

Of course, its been about a year and a half since I read it, but I remember it being quite balanced, giving a broad scope of interpretations.

It really troubles me that the discourse is so often either entirely patriarchal or entirely suspicious of anything traditional. There is a great deal of oppression of women in the Bible, but there's also a great deal of liberty. To find the liberty, we may have to grapple with some difficult material, but we ought to grapple with it rather than just throw it out.

I really like her "midrash-like" stories and insights. Have you read Sarah Laughed: Modern Lessons from the Wisdom & Stories of Biblical Women by Vanessa Ochs?
