John Temple Bristow's What Paul Really Said About Women challenges the traditional understanding of St. Paul's epistles and sexism in the modern church.

Attempting to reconcile the Apostle Paul's scripture about women being submissive to men in Ephesians 5 with his words in Galatians 3 that there is no male or female and everyone is "one in Christ Jesus", John Temple Bristow uncovered differences between Paul's original Greek Ephesians writings and the English version translation that indicates a deliberate alteration of the text's meaning in favor of men.

Provocative and revelatory, Bristow's book explores not only What Paul Really Said About Women, but the history and culture of the church that misinterpreted his message.

"A convincing case for equality of the sexes based on the very passages that are all too often used as proof texts to uphold male dominance and female subordination... For any person who reveres scripture but who struggles with traditional interpretations of passages concerning women and who fears that a desire for equality between the sexes is a violation of biblical principles, this book is a must." -- Letha Dawson Scanzoni, co-author of All We're Meant to Be

"Bristow acquits Paul of misogyny and restores him to his rightful stature as a great architect of human liberation. Even more importantly, Bristow urges contemporary churches... to follow the radically egalitarian vision of the apostle Paul." -- Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, author of Women, Men, and the Bible

"Cuts through much misguided rhetoric to display the actual enhancement of women's status in early Christian culture." -- Timothy L. Smith, author of Called Unto Holiness
