Virginia Ramey Mollenkott is a pioneer in the endeavors to integrate feminism with Christian theology, specifically evangelical theology. Desperate for Authenticity considers her personal development alongside her theological development to provide insight into her contributions in the scholarly arena. Dr. Mollenkott was one of the first evangelicals who demanded that concern for marginalized and vulnerable populations of people be nurtured. A foreword by Dr. Mollenkott is included as a response to some of the ideas within this book.
