Synopsis

Christianity Today Book Award Winner

Regarding gender relations, the evangelical world is divided between complementarians and egalitarians. While both perspectives have much to contribute, the discussion has reached a stalemate. Michelle Lee-Barnewall critiques both sides of the debate, challenging the standard premises and arguments and offering new insight into a perennially divisive issue in the church. She brings fresh biblical exegesis to bear on our cultural situation, presenting an alternative way to move the discussion forward based on a corporate perspective and on kingdom values. The book includes a foreword by Craig L. Blomberg and an afterword by Lynn H. Cohick.

Goodreads review by Josiah on June 27, 2020

Really fascinating, thought-provoking, and well-argued book that makes a very persuasive case on a number of fronts. Contrary to what you might expect from the title, this isn't really a book about the things that complementarians & egalitarians debate over: it isn't about female pastors nor is it a......more

Goodreads review by Shaun on March 21, 2016

This book is a labour of love, with thorough research having gone into the pages. While other books on the topic of Women in Ministry is narrow in scope, this author attempts to provide a blanket exploration on the topic, from both a "secular" and theological angle. It perhaps would be apt to classi......more
