It is not often that these controversial subjects in Christianity are treated with such dedicated time consuming research to cover all the details. All the major Scriptures relevant to demoting women to second class citizenship in the Body of Christ have been discussed. Krizo carefully researched both sides of the questions, with copious quotes and references, but also researched early historical Christian views. Krizo has many quotes and references from Augustine, Chrysostom, Ignatius, Tertullian and Irenaeus and other early church fathers. This careful research alone makes this a great book to read and keep for references. I do not know of another author who has done this much sharing with the public of ancient writings. But there is so much more. Krizo has deeply considered the claims of Grudem, Piper, Ware and others who believe the body of Christ is one of authority and submission rather than mutuality and giftedness. In spite of all Krizo's careful research into history, cultures, and languages the author has been careful to make it readable. Whether you are a devoted Bible Scholar or the average Christian just trying to make sense of it all, you will find this book immensely helpful.

Informative and enjoyable. A must-read!

I found "When Dogmas Die" to be a highly informative and enlightening exposé of woman's role in the bible and in Christianity throughout history. Well researched, well written and very readable, this book is relevant to understanding the nature of the place relegated to women in modern society and in the family, no matter what one's spiritual beliefs are. Not only will you learn about the representation (and misrepresentation) of women in the bible, based on sometimes faulty translations, and their place in the church and family in the context of Christianity throughout history, you will also be treated to an overview of the history of the bible's translations and, as a bonus, lessons in etymology. Despite all this education, the text flows and is a pleasure to read. I thoroughly enjoyed "When Dogmas Die" and recommend it to everyone!
