Evangelical Feminism & Biblical Truth

Evangelical feminists, or egalitarians, consider men's and women's roles in the home and church to be interchangeable. In this definitive book, Wayne Grudem argues that this view is clearly contrary to Scripture.

The author presents a positive view of men and women as equal in value before God, yet with complementary not identical God-given roles. He then seeks to answer more than a hundred arguments that deny a unique leadership role to men, in marriage or the Christian community. He warns of a connection between evangelical feminism and liberalism, and surveys the current state of evangelicalism regarding manhood and womanhood. His conclusion is that 'evangelicals who believe the Bible will ultimately have to choose between evangelical feminism and biblical truth.'

The culmination of 25 years of study and teaching, this thorough and accessible treatment of a controversial issue should become a standard text for evangelical reflection on gender roles.

This is an outstanding book, and a thorough and convincing answer to the views of evangelical feminists. The complementarian view of the sexes that it commends as biblical, both graciously and clearly, needs to be heard afresh. The health of the Christian family and the church family will benefit as a result. Both sides in the argument need to read this definitive book. It should be in every thoughtful Christian's library. It is a classic of our times!
