In her groundbreaking book, "In Jesus and Women," Niamh Middleton delves into a captivating exploration of the revolutionary stance of Jesus towards women, drawing upon insights from evolutionary biology, feminism, and the #MeToo movement. Through meticulous exegesis, she compares the treatment and depiction of women in the Old and New Testaments, shedding light on the path forward for the treatment of women within the Church and society. Moreover, this profound work holds the potential to deepen our understanding of Jesus's divinity. Middleton's bold approach empowers Christian women to reclaim their religion as a powerful tool for empowerment, challenging the regressive trajectory that Christianity has followed since Roman times. She also draws upon the remarkable life and untimely death of Western heroine Diana, Princess of Wales, as an archetypal example of why Christianity must be reclaimed by its female members.

Above all, Middleton makes a compelling argument that while political feminism can address the surface-level symptoms of the ongoing battle of the sexes, a true revolution of grace is necessary to restore the harmonious balance between the sexes envisioned in Genesis. Her book serves as a timely and essential contribution to the ongoing dialogue about gender equality and the role of women in Christianity.
