Description
“In Christ Jesus, there is no distinction between male and female—you are all one.”
The discussion around the roles of women and men in Christian life and the church has progressed over time, yet it remains a subject of ongoing debate.
This third edition of a pioneering work gathers scholars who hold firmly to biblical authority as they examine historical, scriptural, theological, cultural, and practical dimensions of the conversation. Offering a renewed and compelling case for gender equality, the volume is both academically rigorous and deeply practical, engaging opposing views with respect while presenting fresh insights. Updated and expanded, this edition includes revised essays alongside new contributions addressing biblical equality in connection with key issues such as:
- The imago Dei (image of God)
- The slavery analogy in biblical interpretation
- Same-sex marriage and gender theology
- Abortion and reproductive ethics
- Domestic abuse and church response
- Intersections of race and gender
- Human flourishing and God’s design
Explore God’s vision for equality and discover how it transforms faith, relationships, and the church.
