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.
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. 😉
