Description : Is male headship a product of sin? Does Deborah's authority prove God calls women to leadership? Is female submission a cultural carryover from first-century society? Advocating a "complementarian" vs. an "egalitarian" view, Grudem offers point-by-point biblically based responses to these and other feminist claims challenging the God-ordained roles of men and women. Provocative!
Has the modern church suffered a tragic loss of the beauty of manhood and womanhood as created by God? Has the feminist influence within today's evangelical church led to the rejection of the effective authority of the Bible? In this reasoned comprehensiver response to more than 100 controversial claimsfrom evangelical feminists, biblical scholar Wayne Grudem answers these questions and examines the egalitarian perspective on every major doctrinal issue, including,
What the Bible says about the roles of men and women in marriage
Women in the church and in church leadership
Theology and the Concepts of equality fairness and justice
Claims that a complementarian view is harmful
"This is the fullest and most informative analysis avaliable, and no one will be able to deny the cummulative strength of the case this author makes."
- J.I. Packer
"This is the most thorough, balanced, and biblically accurate treatment of feminism and the Bible I have ever seen."
- Stu Weber
"After the Bible, I cannot imagine a more useful book for finding reliable help in understanding God's will for manhood and womanhood in the church and the home."
- John Piper
A very careful scholarly work that is better (by order of magnitude) than what came before it. A virtual arsenal against all types of poor thinking that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. Devastates the opposing arguments. Recommended!
