{"product_id":"stained-glass-ceilings","title":"Stained Glass Ceilings","description":"\u003ci\u003eStained Glass Ceilings\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to the intersection of gender and power within American evangelicalism by examining the formation of evangelical leaders in two seminary communities.Southern Baptist Theological Seminary inspires a vision of human flourishing through gender differentiation and male headship. Men practice “Godly Manhood,\" and are taught to act as the \"head\" of a family, while their wives are socialized into codes of “Godly Womanhood\" that prioritize prescribed gender roles. This power structure privileges men yet offers agency to their wives in women-centered spaces and through marital relationships. Meanwhile, Asbury Theological Seminary promises freedom from gendered hierarchies. Appealing to a story of gender-blind equality, Asbury welcomes women into classrooms, administrative offices, and pulpits. But the institution’s construction of egalitarianism obscures the fact that women are rewarded for adapting to an existing male-centered status quo rather than for developing their own voices as women. Featuring high-profile evangelicals such as Al Mohler and Owen Strachan, along with young seminarians poised to lead the movement in the coming decades, \u003ci\u003eStained Glass Ceilings\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates the liabilities of white evangelical toolkits and argues that evangelical culture upholds male-centered structures of power even as it facilitates meaning and identity.","brand":"Lisa Weaver Swartz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43574356017334,"sku":"9781978820012","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781978820012_755db980-6767-4af2-ae1e-d0c6d777134e.jpg?v=1734008130","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/stained-glass-ceilings","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
