Last week I hit the NYTimes; this week I got a not terrible review fromThe Gospel Coalition….this has been a very encouraging albeit surprising reception for #BecomingThePastorsWife!

All things considered, this is a win. I am grateful for a thoughtful reviewer this time. I appreciate @wendyalsup.bsky.social’s critique and will consider it. Although I don’t think I can do much about my tone nor our fundamental disagreement about the importance of history in this ongoing convo.

Well, I know my current book is sitting on NYTimes bestseller list today (and probably just a few more days; i can’t imagine to be this lucky two weeks in a row), but I really am starting to write the third book today, too. And it’s starting off with Whitby. @brazospress.bsky.social

Just got a thank you from a grad student reading #BecomingThePastorsWife who appreciated my honesty about the challenges of grad school. I am so glad it helped her!!!

“A dark story and well-researched.” I can’t argue with that! Grateful for another 5-star NetGalley review for #BecomingThePastorsWife! @brazospress.bsky.social

Came straight home from a wonderful trip in UK to a planned surgery to fix my ankle/foot. It was a long surgery and went well, but I’ll be recovering for a while. I should be in a walking boot by book release.

Whitby is stunning—both in sunlight and with gray skies.

Well, the US seems to be imploding (exploding?), but I just had amazing fish and chips in Whitby. Good night, y’all!

For the past year I’ve had the privilege of working on a podcast miniseries with Savannah Locke. It was born in the SBC archives. It will share stories you haven’t heard before. Stories you will want to hear. Follow along on IG and Threads because it is coming soon in 2025: #AllTheBuriedWomen

Perfect end to my graduate seminar on sermons. We started the semester with a lecture by Carolyn Muessig on medieval women preaching and ended today listening to @bethmoorelpm.bsky.social preach at Truett Seminary.

“For the next few days, I will be highlighting 12 books that, in different ways, disrupt complementarian theology. Each book is strong enough in its own purpose. Taken together, they are “more strong”—strong enough to end Christian patriarchy.” open.substack.com/pub/bethalli...

Officially ditched twitter today. I am grateful for the platform it gave me when no one knew my name. But I only feel relief today to say goodbye to it.

Well, when pastors’ wives began leading the movement to ban women’s ordination (as happened in SBC), it shows that something historically changed. My chapters 6-7 hit this especially. Here’s my TOC: bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/becomi...

Beth Allison Barr, PhD @bethallisonbarr.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Absolutely. My new book will help explain how/why women have been pitted against one another.

I think this is my first official conversation about my new book, #BecomingThePastorsWife. I really enjoyed it, and I can’t wait till this book is out. I think it will surprise you.
