"A Twisted Interpretation of the Word of God" with Beth Allison Barr

Jimmy Carter was at one time the most well-known Southern Baptist in the world, but he left the denomination in the year 2000 citing their theological views on the role of women as one of his primary reasons for leaving. On this episode of Recollecting Carter, I talk with Dr. Beth Allison Barr, author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth, about the history behind what Carter called "a twisted interpretation of the Word of God."
