Beth Allison Barr is the U.S.A. Today’s bestselling author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth (find it on our book table!). An academic by training and a pastor’s wife by calling, Beth uses her unique voice to speak out on the relevance of medieval history to our modern world—especially concerning women in both medieval and modern Christianity. Her work is described as “smart,” “powerful,” and “a game changer” for women in modern evangelicalism.
Barr is currently the James Vardaman Professor of History at Baylor University, where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. She has been featured by NPR and The New Yorker. She also continues to write regularly on The Anxious Bench, a popular religious history blog on Patheos.
