Her.meneutics: Where Are All the Women Apologists?: Thousands of intelligent females argue daily for everything from atheism to Islam without hearing an articulate reason to believe otherwise. Because of this, we need more women on the cultural laywoman level (check out the list of women in philosophy of religion) dedicating their minds to understanding the cultural persuasiveness of non-Christian arguments, so that we can “always be ready to give an answer (Greek apologia) for the hope that is in us.”
We need women who can understand and articulate what Jesus thinks about N.O.W., about Buddhist mums who seem to offer more compassion than Christians, about Fifty Shades of Gray. We need women to speak about a better way to educate youth groups about sexuality than, “Men are animals and women need to be modest.” We need women to weigh in on why and what to do about Christianity’s ability to both mend broken families and tear others apart.
