Katharine C. Bushnell authored a seminal work on the place of women in the economy of God. Published originally in 1921 and now in the public domain, the format of Bushnell’s book is a series of lessons on these passages and topics and the material is dense, scholarly, repetitive and almost 400 closely typed pages long. In addition to weeding out some of the rabbit trails and removing the more dated references, we have simplified the material and slimmed the sources quoted to make the core ideas more accessible to those who may never have considered an alternative viewpoint.
