Barr's 2021 book The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth addressed the ongoing debate over women in Christianity. It received widespread coverage, including in secular media such as Newsweek, [6] The New Yorker, [7] and NPR, [8] as well as Christian outlets such as The Gospel Coalition. [9] A reviewer on Premier Christianity said "This powerful book is forcing the Church to re-think what the Bible says about women". [10] After The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood criticized the book and the church where Barr's husband serves as pastor, the church received more than $15,000 in donations. [11]
