Project 2025 Women's Study Bible is a feminist re-reading of scripture written for a political moment when religion is once again being used as a weapon against women. Set against the backdrop of Project 2025, Christian nationalism, and a broader authoritarian backlash, this book looks at how patriarchal power has edited, interpreted, and staged sacred text in ways that normalize women's subordination while calling it divine order. It does not treat scripture as neutral ground, and it does not hand religion over to the people currently using it to justify control. Instead, it reads closely, argues back, and works to reclaim spiritual language from the machinery of patriarchy.
The book moves through deconstructing patriarchy in scripture, reclaiming women's power and spirit, applying the FTP lens to contemporary politics, and building a collective framework for spiritual and political resistance. Figures like Eve, Miriam, and Mary Magdalene are reconsidered not as warnings or footnotes but as sites of agency, disruption, and reinterpretation. The larger point is clear: scripture has been managed, edited, and weaponized, but it can also be re-read, reclaimed, and put back into the hands of people who refuse to confuse domination with faith. This is not devotional material, and it is not a neutral study guide. It is a book about liberation, interpretation, and power.
This is the kind of book for people who are done letting patriarchal theology pass as common sense. It offers a sharper way to think about women and religion, biblical interpretation, Christian nationalism, Project 2025, feminist theology, spiritual resistance, and the fight to take back narratives that were never supposed to belong only to the powerful.
