Religion and Gender Roles

The purpose of this book is to provide a framework in which individuals will be able to engage in meaningful and constructive dialogue about religion and gender roles in society. Using passages from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, the Qur'an, and other authoritative works, readers will be able to read and understand how holy texts written and interpreted by men in a historical patriarchal context must be reread and reinterpreted to meet the needs of an ever-changing society.
