So what exactly is radical womanhood?

So in this day and age, we are bombarded by a number of influences from our culture as well as various historical perspectives. It seems everyone has an idea about our role in the home, workplace, church, and in society. It has become all to common for the women in the church to allow these influences to cloud the vision that God has for women. Radical womanhood is an attempt for women to not only understand how the waves of feminism have directly impacted their view of womanhood, but also for them to understand what they can do now in response.

Radical womanhood is not intended to be anti-women. On the contrary it seeks to present the pro-woman truth found in the Bible, and then challenges encourages them to take a radical stance so that we can live as a savvy biblical women in a modern world. The ideas presented here are intended to be relevant for women of all ages, and from all walks of life. God's truth is meant to equip women from all perspectives and backgrounds, whether young or old, married or single.

The ideas presented here are not new ideas, but are still very relevant for today. They are based largely on the teaching of the Bible, but also found in the writings of McCulley, Grudem, Kendrick, Crabb, Parrott, Kostenberger and Schreiner, and Hunt and Thompson, just to name a few.

I am always open to further discussion and suggestions as to topics and issues to address here. Feel free to send me an email or leave a post with questions, recommendations, or comments.
