An easy-to-read introduction to the key Scriptures, terms, arguments and research related to the complementarian position on gender. Includes questions for group study.
“The complementarian view teaches that God created men and women as equals with different gender-defined roles.” (Page 6)
“Yet Jesus Christ practiced role distinctions between the sexes by designating male leadership for His Church.” (Page 10)
“The gender debate is not an abstract, impersonal, doctrinal controversy. It touches directly on our humanness, our sexual identity, our ministry opportunities, the marriage relationship, family life, and life in the local church.” (Page 5)
“Please observe that Paul never tires of telling his readers that his gender teachings are rooted soundly in the creation laws of Genesis.” (Page 83)
“In their view, Christ’s work on the cross restores the original equality of the sexes that is envisioned in Genesis 2 because in Christ ‘there is neither male nor female’ (Gal. 3:28).” (Page 9)
