An Evening with Dr Beth Allison Barr: The Chair of Christian Thought Bentall Lecture on Education and Theology

Abstract
History forgets much more than it remembers, and what it remembers is often what people have chosen to preserve. Dr Barr argues in her book The Making of Biblical Womanhood that historical ignorance paved the way for evangelical support of women's oppression. She also contends that a lack of understanding about the broader cultural impact of these evangelical beliefs contributes to the continuation of oppressive structures even outside of the church. Historical amnesia comes at great cost for not only women in the church but also for human dignity. Dr Barr reflects on the cost of the subjugation of women within white evangelical spaces as well as why the reception of The Making of Biblical Womanhood gives her hope for a better future.
