{"product_id":"stained-glass-ceilings-lisa-weaver-swartz-9781978820005","title":"Stained Glass Ceilings: How Evangelicals Do Gender and Practice Power","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Weaver Swartz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978820003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978820005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Lisa Weaver Swartz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069250400511,"sku":"9781978820005","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63facb32-8c2d-432a-93e7-f45bf3b85521.jpg?v=1685423669","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stained-glass-ceilings-lisa-weaver-swartz-9781978820005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
