Title: Another anti-Christian stealth book
Review: This book tries to pass itself off as biblical in nature while it is pure fiction. The author clearly blames God for not providing women with enough leading roles in Genisis and attempts to remake the bible in her own feminist image.There are a number of similar anti-Christian books on the market that employ the same strategy (The Davinci Code is a good example). The author cannot denounce the Christian reglion outright, so fabricating a blasphemous storyline to replace the original is the alternative goal.Anita Diamant is Jewish and not Christian. She has written books outlining how to reject the Christian religion and convert to Judaism. I would suggest "The Red Tent" only as a companion guide to someone who has such a goal. It is not a book written to help a Christian woman deepen her understanding of the role of women in the Old Testament.
