I do find the book stimulating, but there are several klinkers, at least to this reader. Perhaps you or others on the list can help me with one possibly minor bit which clunked when I read it. Galatians 3:28 "male and female" -- Wiley cites this verse as restoring "the original equality" of creation (Genesis 1:27) both on p 51 and in the note on p. 138. My reading of Galatians has this quote from Genesis transcending, not restoring gender of the created order.
Am I missing something? Is this a reading required by Catholic teachings -- that the created order is to be restored, not transcended? I am all for gender equality, whether by restoration or transcendence of the created order, but I do sense a subtext here.
Also, had you been exposed to the quotations on pp 108-109? Do you know how recent they are?
