Although I am in this instance tempted by the Kindle price of £2.40 at Amazon UK.
I’ve seen this book in particular have the sale get picked up by Faithlife ebooks before when it’s on sale at Amazon.
Thanks. I hope so.
I contacted someone at Faithlife and they're asking a colleague to reach out to Brazos.
Excellent, thanks for doing that, I’m interested in picking it up as well for the right price.
Thanks for bird-dogging the sale ... hopefully the 'bird' will alight in Logos!
I went ahead and got the Kindle version of Barr's work. Normally I'm not too wound up on the 'divinely ordained' pecking-order ... better to notice who ends up cleaning the restrooms before Sunday services.
But this volume is better than earlier arguments. She points out a few of the passages I hadn't noticed, which I agree for a semitic world would be significant. And goes into the history of theologizing the pecking importance ... 'middle ages' and so on.
Granted, not particularly comfortable, if you grew up in a pecking-order church ... the logic is all there.
Recommended.

Whilst in the UK the issue isn't as divisive as it is in North America, I would have considered myself a complentarian. I was forced to consider my position when our church appointed a female pastor. So rather than read books from my viewpoint, I read books from opposing positions. I found these 2 helpful, as they actually justified their position from the Bible, rather than "we know better now", "Paul was wrong", "it's just unfair" type arguments.

I haven't read the book in this thread, but a friend who was emotionally scared by complementarianism found it helpful.
Still hoping. 😉
Meant to be $3.19 today, but no sign Faithlife have been included in the sale.
I meant to post a comment on a different book.
It's now on sale at $3.99. I noticed a couple of other Brazos ebooks on sale too.
I have a friend who freelances for Brazos. It's just possible my comments to her have resulted in this. But either way hopefully we'll see more Brazos ebooks offered on sale.
Nice, I’m glad this particular sale got picked up by Logos. I grabbed it.
