Swartley/Slavery, Sabbath, War and Women
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page book review-- Willard Swartley in his 1983 text Slavery, Sabbath, War and Women examines four case studies in biblical interpretation pertaining to the topics in his title. In so doing, the author's goal is to illustrate and clarify the difficulties that are inherent in biblical interpretation. Basically, Swartley's examination of the first three issues present debates that have divided Christians in the past. He then uses these examples to help illuminate the nature of the controversial modern debate over the proper status of women within a Christian perspective and the role relationships that scripture indicates should exist between men and women. The writer argues that this is a fascinating and insightful text. No additional sources cited.

This examination of Swinburne's text presents a brief summary of his argument and then offers rebuttal to his basic premise, which does necessarily mean that God does not exist. No additional sources cited.
