Cathy Madavan, Kyria Network
Women have proved their equality with men in leadership, scholarship and exercising spiritual gifts, but traditional interpretations of Scripture mean that leadership is still viewed by many as the preserve of men. Penelope Wilcock argues that Christs new and living way leads us out of all forms of dominance and subjugation, including imprisonment within gender roles. She proposes a reading of Scripture that respects its authority while embracing the full equality of women and men in the eyes of God.
I wholeheartedly recommend Pen Wilcocks eye-opening, thought-provoking and paradigm-shifting book as an agenda for humanity.

Pen Wilcock, a writer, thinker and teacher, has worked in school, hospice and prison chaplaincy contexts and as the pastor of a number of Methodist churches. She lives in Hastings (in Englands East Sussex) where she is a Local Preacher in the Methodist circuit. You can find her online at her blog Kindred of the Quiet Way.
There is no hierarchy of the sexes in the Bibles creation stories. The image of God is universalised. The whole of humankind every woman as well as every man shares equally in the responsibility and privilege of being representatives of their creator. The language is deliberate. Gods voice undermines the social structure of an ancient world laden with oppressive sexism and violence. This was nothing short of a revolution. It is just as revolutionary today, because as you explore the rest of the biblical record and Church history not to mention the values of our contemporary society this foundational principle has long been neglected and even lost. That is why I wholeheartedly recommend Pen Wilcocks eye opening, thought provoking and paradigm shifting book as an agenda for humanity.
Steve Chalke, Founder and Leader of Oasis Global
A fresh and very helpful look at the issue of equality for the everyday Christian. Pen skilfully takes us through some complex theology at a pace that allows us to dig deep and make some important decisions for ourselves.
Tola Fisher, Editor of Woman Alive
This book digs deep into the roots of equality. With an uncanny ability to curate and communicate information, Penelope grapples with the issues and then helps you to reflect on them for yourself. Providing historical and biblical examples to have at your fingertips, this book will be a great tool in your toolkit as you consider again the importance of equality for all people. A fascinating read.

My thanks to Graham and Val Hamer for bringing their scholarship to a meticulous reading of my text. Their comments were full of insight and intelligence and helped greatly.
My fathers approach to snacks was a great trial to my mother.
I was born in the second half of the 1950s, when pre-lunch and pre-dinner drinks were a definite thing. On any Sunday morning at our parish church, invitations would be quietly shared in discreet tones to come over for drinks before lunch and in the evening while supper was still finishing off in the oven, my parents would sit down for a sherry before they moved to the (immaculately laid) dining table to eat. Ha! People did things properly back then! None of this propping ones enamel dish upon an accumulation of midriff fat to shovel down spag bol while watching the telly.
The preprandial drinks had accompanying snacks, as did coffee at elevenses and tea in the late afternoon. And these were the bone of contention.
My father, offered salted peanuts with his sherry, would grab a handful, cup them in his palm, toss them carelessly into his mouth crunch, crunch, swallow. Likewise if my mother offered him a biscuit. Hed shove it into his mouth whole, munch rapidly and swallow. Or orange juice might appear on the menu instead of sherry. In the 1960s, stores boasted no extensive ranges of every kind of fruit juice temptingly displayed in chilled cabinets. No. It came in tins, and you purchased it for special occasions. My father would take up the diminutive glass with the precious tinned orange juice and knock it back in about three consecutive glugs.
My mother, eating her peanuts one by one or taking tiny bites of her crispy biscuit, would watch in furious disbelief. Youre supposed to savour it, Steve! You dont even taste it! Whats the point?
But she never changed him, partly because he enjoyed baiting her. He liked saying the simple word dandelion (he was chief weeder of our garden) not as DAN-de-lion like everybody else, but as dan-DAY-lee-on, because he knew it irritated her. Annoying my mother was an entertainment that never grew old for him.
But how about you? When it comes to snacks are you a nibbler or a gobbler? And what about when it comes to books? This particular book is only snack-sized not one of your weighty hundred-thousand-word tomes. Is your plan to consume it in one bite because its short? Reader, I beg you not to. Try to go mindfully enough to read the footnotes, and take the time to look up the Bible passages. Check out the work of Marg Mowczko and Peter Selby. At least, at the end of each chapter, will you pause and reflect as I shall invite you to do? Ask yourself, What does this mean, in my life? Let the thoughts soak in; give them the chance to provoke ideas of your own, and turn those over in your mind as they rise to the surface. This book, like life itself, is only brief, but let us savour our time together. And if you want to reply, if you have comments of your own, you can write to me via my publisher or find me online at Kindred of the Quiet Way. This book is written for you, not for me and I offer it for you to really savour and enjoy. Not crunch-crunch-swallow. Please.
.US reader, I dont mean what you mean by biscuit. Not a hearty thing you eat with gravy that we in the UK call a scone. I mean a dainty, crisp, small, flat cookie that breaks with a snap more like a communion wafer than like a bread roll.
