Egalitarian Beth Allison Barr Waffles on Accusation of Advocating For Child Abandonment

The saga of raging against the patriarchy continued as egalitarian author and Baylor History professor Beth Allison Barr recently pushed back against evidence presented by Denny Burk that she supports the idea of mothers abandoning their children in her book “The Making of Biblical Womanhood.”

In the chapter titled “Our Selective Medieval Memory”, Barr describes stories of medieval women who “broke free from marriage to serve God”. Discontent with merely bashing the God-ordained covenant of Biblical marriage as a burden to be overcome, Barr proceeded to contrast Saint Paula who “abandoned her children for the higher purpose of God’s call on her life” and left “three of her children alone, crying on the shore” with the teachings of a retreat speaker who esteemed the idea that “women are divinely called to be stay-at-home moms dedicated to childrearing and keeping the home.”

Barr then twists Jesus’ statement in Matthew 10:37, implying that women such as Paula who abandon their children in pursuit of Christ are more faithful to scripture than women who follow the commands given by the Apostle Paul in scripture. In Titus 2:4-5, Paul states “and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.”

Barr and fellow egalitarian Kristin Du Mez have been locked in a nearly yearlong war of words with Denny Burk over their attempts to subvert Biblical teaching on womanhood and bring egalitarianism and feminism into traditionally conservative denominations. We recently reported on Barr’s attempts to discredit Biblical complementarianism by claiming that all complementarians are racist, as well as her refusal to affirm the inerrancy of scripture.

Barr’s ideology is driven by victimhood and intersectionality, making the jump from defending egalitarianism to defending critical race theory a natural move. Considering that Barr’s Book, “The Making of Biblical Womanhood” is endorsed by the likes of race-baiter Jemar Tisby and sodomite religion writer Jonathan Merritt, it is likely that she will soon follow in the footsteps of her friend Kristin Du Mez, who recently announced that she is LGBTQ affirming. The critical theory is strong with this one.

Barr defended herself against the claims that she supported abandoning children, stating that Burk was attacking her as “I was hosting a waffle night where I made 17 batches of homemade waffles and fed about 60 or 70 undergrads.” While feeding undergrads is commendable, it does not atone for the act of subverting clear Biblical teaching. There is no word on whether she also fed her own husband and children in addition to the undergrads. Her defense is an odd one, considering that most radical feminists like Barr resent the idea of being anywhere near a kitchen.

Perhaps she could teach Beth Moore a thing or two about making waffles.
