Synopsis

"There is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus."

The conversation about the relationship between women and men and their roles in the Christian life and the church has evolved, but the topic continues to inspire debate and disagreement.

The third edition of this groundbreaking work brings together scholars firmly committed to the authority of Scripture to explore historical, biblical, theological, cultural, and practical aspects of this discussion. This fresh, positive defense of gender equality is at once scholarly and practical, irenic yet spirited, up-to-date, and cognizant of opposing positions. In this edition, listeners will find both revised essays and new essays on biblical equality in relation to several issues, including the image of God, the analogy of slavery, same-sex marriage, abortion, domestic abuse, race, and human flourishing.

Discover for yourself God's vision for gender equality.

Goodreads review by Preston on August 21, 2020

Having a complimentarian hermeneutic of Scripture, I decided to read this book on order to gain perspective on what are the beliefs of the egalitarian perspective of Scripture. While I wouldn't say this book changed my mind on how I interpret crucial passages of Scripture, I did benefit greatly from......more

Goodreads review by Jake on December 16, 2023

4.5. This is the most comprehensive one-volume compilation of essays that outlines the biblical basis for gender equality and complementarity (known as egalitarianism) I've read. At its core, the volume is a response to its hierarchical counterpart, "Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood." The bo......more
