I was only joking, hinting that the bookstore clerk thought a book entitled "Let Wives Be Submissive" was obviously meant as fiction. I apologize if my somewhat silly humor was confusing. “Not sure what to make of Balch ending up in fiction!”

Balch may not have made it into my top 5 if the book hadn't been so instrumental in my introduction to biblical studies generally. My list is intimately connected with my own personal history and journey towards academia. Not sure what to make of Balch ending up in fiction! Thanks for the comment, Edward.

Not sure what to make of Balch ending up in fiction!

I like to joke that when I was attempting to obtain a copy of David Balch's monograph LET WIVES BE SUBMISSIVE: THE DOMESTIC CODE IN FIRST PETER (Chico: Scholars Press, 1981), I had trouble finding it -- I always looked in the "Biblical Studies" section, but the bookstores always filed it under "Fiction".
