Barbara Newman

Created by Altenmaeren (talk). Self nominated at 12:32, 11 February 2015 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Can we improve the balance in this article. She seems to be a brilliant person with a brilliant book. Is there not someone who doesn't agree with this religious historian (or does she not tackle controversy?) :-) Oh and can it be used for Womens History Month when approved? Victuallers (talk) 00:08, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
  • thanks for having a look! I'm trying to find some controversy, but it's surprisingly hard -- I guess if she were a theologian it would be different. There was a conference she organized a few years back on Goddesses that might've had some controversy. Anyhow, yes, I'd love to have this be a part of women's history month if I can get it approved.

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Striving for balance doesn't mean we have to manufacture a negative -- I've spent the last hour or so searching for info on her, and have come up with lots of references to her work in published books, but nothing controversial. She's highly thought off and heavily referenced in her field (search Google with the "More...Books" option). Long enough, new enough, referenced (though the existing references could be improved by giving fuller citations); quotations are used appropriately, no copyvios, hook is okay, but not exciting -- here's an alt (I added an idea from the review cited to support this one).
  • ALT2: ... that medieval scholar Barbara Newman suggests that female "creations of the Christian imagination" deepened the medieval vision of God? Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 22:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg I like the direction User:Mary Mark Ockerbloom is taking in ALT2, but the hook needs to be spelled out a bit more, like:
  • ALT3: ... that medieval scholar Barbara Newman suggests that the multiple female figures in medieval Christianity were "distinctive creations of the Christian imagination" which deepened the medieval vision of God? Yoninah (talk) 21:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
