"This to-the-point handbook is a valuable resource enabling every Christian to grasp the issues, including: What the Bible says about the roles of men and women in marriage; Women in the church and in church leadership; Theology and the concepts of equality, fairness, and justice; Claims that a complementarian view is harmful." —Stu Weber

Evangelical feminists boldly assert that male and female roles in the church are interchangeable. Society reflects the argument. But what does the Bible have to say? Wayne Grudem offers more than forty biblical responses to the most crucial questions on this topic, showing God's equal value in men and women and why their roles in the church are complementary, not interchangeable.

"No one will be able to deny the cumulative strength of the case this author makes." —J. I. Packer

"After the Bible, I cannot imagine a more useful book for finding reliable help in understanding God's will for manhood and womanhood in the church and the home." —John Piper

This is the most thorough, balanced, and biblically accurate treatment of feminism and the Bible that the reviewer has seen. The book provides a valuable resource for every Christian, enabling them to grasp the key issues at hand. Grudem presents over forty biblical responses to the most critical questions surrounding the roles of men and women, demonstrating God's equal regard for both genders and why their roles in the church are complementary, not interchangeable. The reviewer emphasizes the cumulative strength of Grudem's case, and Piper describes the book as the most reliable resource, second only to the Bible, for understanding God's design for masculinity and femininity in the church and the home.
