The age of matriarchal "women's church" is upon us; it even has its own bible.
According to Agence France-Presse, a group of feminist theologians from both Protestant and Catholic backgrounds joined together for the creation of "A Women's Bible," which essentially reinterprets the patriarchal parts of the holy text, like St. Paul's command for wives to submit to their husbands, in favor of an egalitarian theology that emancipates women. It is a collection of essays and commentary, not an edited bible.
"Tired of seeing their holy texts used to justify the subjugation of women, a group of feminist theologians from across the Protestant-Catholic divide have joined forces to draft "A Women's Bible,'" reports AFP. "While many feminists have called for The Bible, Christianity, and religion altogether to be cast aside, an eclectic group of theologians instead insists that if interpreted properly, the Good Book can be a tool for promoting women's emancipation."
