Equal But Not the Same: God's Design for Men and Women
By Andrew Micklefield
In a society where inter-gender equality is fashionable and relationships are often perilous, the Bible’s perspective on men and women is particularly relevant. Is God sexist? Should husbands be “over” their wives? If the Bible says that “in Christ there is neither male nor female,” why has fundamental Christianity restricted many women? Where is the grace and love in all this? Releasing men and women to serve side by side as God intended, Andrew answers these tough and relevant questions head-on. We hope you’ll “feel better” after reading this theological treatment of a thorny and emotionally charged issue. This position has helped us at Calvary, and has since been used for discussion by leaders in other churches and institutions.
