the sophia network have a day today (sorry i forgot to blog about it before) – on men women and the bible. i'm sure it will be really good! a while back the network had an online discussion group exploring what the bible says about men and women. as a result of that jen has edited a book in the image of god with various contributers from that original group. it's being launched at the day today. it's a series of eight sessions, ideal for a small group.
it obviously depends on your tradition on whether this is relevant or new, but if like me your background is evangelical then it's pretty important to do the work on exploring what the bible has to say. it seems weird to say but we did a lot of thinking around this about 25 years ago now! part of jen's motivation for setting up the sophia network a few years ago was that it didn't seem like a lot had changed in the world of youth ministry which is a rather depressing thought in some ways. though the sophia network is definitely doing its part to help change that!
we're proud to have this book as our latest release on proost. if you are elsewhere in the world than the uk and want a print version you can order through the proost lulu bookshop – this certainly should work in america. proost subscribers it's included in your subscription in the downloads area.
This looks great. One question. I can’t see any author’s names. Were any men involved in the project or was it just women? If it was just women I’m just concerned that men might think this is a feminist project and so dismiss it.
