by Johanna W. H. Van Wijk-Bos (Author)

This fresh, insightful book explores the nature and function of biblical authority for Christian feminism. Johanna van Wijk-Bos demonstrates, from a Reformed/Calvinist context, the importance of sola scriptura for feminist biblical studies. She illustrates the ways in which biblical authority undergirds and expands feminist perspectives. The author draws upon her personal experiences of an early childhood spent in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands and an adolescence in a faith community with a strong Calvinist cast.
