Misogyny

Misogyny, Its Origen, Impact, and Fruit, and the Work of Christ to Eliminate It by author and biblical scholar Dr. Prince Maurice Parker is a brief study of the issue of misogyny. Providing a concise overview of misogyny, the book begins with the fundamentals, explaining what misogyny is and how it appears in different forms, such as chauvinism and gynophobia, often referring back to Mexican culture and the Spanish Conquest. From there, Dr. Parker provides a sweeping survey of misogyny across history, cultures, and world religions, from Greek philosophers to teachings in Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. The remainder of the book is a work of biblical studies, exploring teachings on gender and women’s studies throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament, from the creation story to Pauline epistles. Dr. Parker concludes with a call for freedom from misogyny through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
