The Monstrous Regiment of Women

The Monstrous Regiment of Women: Coming Summer 2007

One of the filmmakers and his wife are friends of mine from church, very godly and gracious people. The Gunns also made a movie about the homosexual situation in San Francisco called Shaky Town, which you can read about on the same site.

Looks good...and I am familiar with several of the ladies shown and their work.

 

[Arch2k]

Looks interesting!

Looks great.

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

Very cool!

 

[QueenEsther]

that looks nice. I'd like to see the whole thing when it comes out.

Wow. I have never heard of any of these women, but this looks like truly wonderful stuff. Blessings on these filmmakers for using their talents to these ends.

I just read Knox's book yesterday, and it is quite good on the subject, especially in regards to his analysis of and reasoning with the Scriptures, including both their meaning and ramifications. Hopefully this presentation will be able to serve as a good introductory example of such.

Chris, which book is this?

Chris, which book is this?

I think he means The First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women. Is that it?

Chris, which book is this?

The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women. As far as I know, it is the most widely-read Reformed work against the authority of women that has a specific focus on the civil realm.

The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women. As far as I know, it is the most widely-read Reformed work against the authority of women that has a specific focus on the civil realm.

It's a classic. François Hotman also wrote on this subject soon after Knox, but his treatise is not as widely known.

Has anyone noticed how popular Knox's phrase has become in recent years?

* Monstrous Regiment was a British feminist theatre company during the 1970s and 1980s. The name is taken from the Knox pamphlet.

What exactly is the film about? It does look interesting. I know it is about feminism, but what aspect of it does it address? My internet charges me by the MB so I'am not that keen to download the clips.

Well, unless someone says they're really that good.

Another thought: Speaking of Knox, what would his opinion be on women in authority in the realms of civil employment/business/masters-servants etc?

I do not think it was directly addressed in the First Blast though I could have missed it.

*bump*

And check out the update: hate "male." . . .

 

[QueenEsther]

Oh my goodness! That is crazy...

 

[No Longer A Libertine]

My only question is for whom are these films made? Do they hope to create a dialogue with the believer or the unbeliever?

Yeah, I am wondering that myself.
