Suzannah Rowntree is part of the Monstrous Regiment, a roundtable of women seeking to apply God's word fearlessly and faithfully in all callings and seasons of life. She lives in a big house in rural Australia with her awesome parents and siblings, drinking fancy tea, writing historical fantasy fiction, and trying to beat her previous number-of-books-read-in-a-year record.
Recently, I have been amazed to see multiple men on Facebook stand up to defend and recommend John Knox’s infamous pamphlet The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women. I am amazed, because some of these men clearly aspire to leadership in the church. I am amazed, because I have actually read the Monstrous Regiment, and know that it is completely indefensible.
