The Bible includes any collection of “tyrannical texts” that have proved to be profoundly oppressive within the lives of many of us. Among them are Pauline texts that have circumscribed the lives and ministries of women all through Christian history. What are individuals who honor Scripture to do with such texts, and what does it mean to speak of biblical authority of their presence? In Encountering God in Tyrannical Texts, Frances Taylor Gench provides strategies for engaging such texts with integrity- that may be, without dismissing them, whitewashing them, or acquiescing to them-and as potential sources of edification for the church. Gench also facilitates reflection at the nature and authority of Scripture.
