About this listen
The pastors' wives are honored to have Beth Allison Barr on the podcast to chat about her new book: Becoming the Pastor’s Wife: How Marriage Replaced Ordination as a Woman’s Path to Ministry. Beth has a PhD, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is James Vardaman Endowed Chair of History at Baylor
University in Waco, Texas, where she specializes in medieval history, women’s history, and church history. She is the author of the USA Today bestseller The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth. Barr lives in Texas with her husband, a Baptist pastor, and their two children.
In our conversation today, Beth shares the “deep cost” that came with the rise of the pastor’s wife role—especially the way it limited women’s opportunities to lead in their own right; how her background in medieval and women’s history has shaped the way she sees the role of pastors’ wives in today’s evangelical church; and gives encouragement for the pastors’ wives feeling stuck or silenced—who love the church but are struggling to find their place and voice in it. This conversation is educated, insightful, and full of grace for those who may disagree.
