For years a debate has raged over how to define true masculinityand true femininity. While there is agreement that men and womenshare equally in the privilege of being made in God's image, someviews of manhood and womanhood blur God-given genderdistinctions.
Wayne Grudem assembled a team of distinguished writers to showhow egalitarian views destroy God's ideal for your relationships,marriage, and life purposes. The contributors to this bookinclude:
- John Piper, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis,Minnesota
- Bruce A. Ware, Senior Associate Dean of the School of Theologyand Professor of Christian Theology at The Southern BaptistTheological Seminary
- Richard W. Hove, Director of Campus Crusade for Christ at DukeUniversity
- Daniel Doriani, Dean of the Faculty and Professor of NewTestament at Covenant Theological Seminary
- Daniel R. Heimbach, Professor of Christian Ethics atSoutheastern Baptist Theological Seminary
- Peter Jones, Professor of New Testament at WestminsterTheological Seminary in California
These writers explore key issues, including theinterchangeability of male-female roles, the meaning of submission,and the historical novelty of egalitarian interpretations ofScripture. This book will demonstrate how some views of manhood andwomanhood tamper with our understanding of God's character and whythe extremes of male domination and feminism destroy the beauty ofour sexual differences-differences that celebrate the excellence ofmen and women as God created us.
