Nevertheless, I found it incredibly difficult. I started off well for a few months and got through about 4 or 5 books but then found myself "needing" to read this guy or that guy for justifiable reasons. I found the female authors to be a bit more esoteric (which is OK because those are my blind spots as a white male), but it is certainly more difficult to find female writers on the more general topics than it is to find men. It's extremely difficult. Any ideas how to be more faithful to this process?

Any desire to initiate a female-writers-only book club?

Dr. Sylvia C. Keesmaat taught Biblical Studies and Hermeneutics at the Institute for Christian Studies for ten years. In 2004 she left full-time academia to pursue her interests in sustainable living. Currently, she is an adjunct professor at the Institute for Christian Studies and at the Toronto School of Theology.

She is also an instructor in the Creation Care Studies Program in Belize. Dr. Keesmaat is the author of Colossians Remixed: Subverting the Empire (with Brian Walsh, [2004]), Paul and His Story: (Re)Interpreting the Exodus Tradition (1999), and editor of The Advent of Justice (1994).

She has also written numerous articles for both scholarly and popular publications. She is currently writing a book on the Epistle to the Romans, and preparing to write one on creation in the New Testament.

As for the publishing houses, my question is, for whom should we seek fairness (or justice, for that matter)? What are the chances the publishing industry has been infected with patriarchal guiding assumptions too?
