BOTH MEN AND WOMEN UNIQUELY REFLECT THE IMAGE OF GOD--BUT HOW WILL WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER? Being male and female means much more than figuring out who's "in charge" or whether men or women get to perform certain roles. Far from being bad news, God's word on gender is great news when we live as he intended. Not pitting one gender against another--elevating women or men above the other--On Gender charts a third way, the way of embracing and enjoying our gender differences. Amid the arguments of rigid complementarians and liberal egalitarians, find clarity by reading this book. Renée Sproles challenges both men and women by inviting them to obey Scripture with imagination and joy. Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, church leaders and lay persons alike will find in this book a fresh and winsome perspective on what it means to be male and female. We can glorify God in our daily lives and bring out the best in each other to give the world an in-the-flesh picture of Christ and the church. "Biblically grounded and winsome, On Gender offers a generous and beautiful picture of complementarianism for the 21st century. It's not a mere list of prohibitions and restrictions but rather a lovely portrait of how God has designed males and females to live together in such a way that each person is elevated to their fullest dignity. Read this book and live its truths." --DAVID YOUNG, Senior Minister, North Boulevard Church of Christ "This books contains the best explanation of husband-wife relationships I have ever read. It's a much-needed woman's perspective that I will surely use in my own marriage and in counseling with married couples. Many of us never received sufficient instructions in this area, and boy do we need it. Sproles is spot-on." --GEOFF GIESEMANN, Spiritual Growth Minister, Burnt Hickory Church of Christ "On Gender is filled with relevant Scriptures and accurate interpretations, consistently buttressed with simple explanations of Hebrew and Greek words. If your congregation is struggling with this issue, use this resource in your church classes as well in your youth and college programs. Unlike any book I know on this subject, this one is uniquely both scholarly and self-confessional." --JOHN HARRIS, former Orlean Bullard Beeson Professor of Education, Samford University RENÉE WEBB SPROLES and her husband, David, married in 1992 and have taught parenting classes together for twenty years. A homeschooling mother of two, Renée helped launch the Discipleship Tutorial in 2016 as part of North Boulevard Church's School of Christian Thought. Discipleship Tutorial is dedicated to academic excellence, building a Christian worldview, and mentoring students. She is passionate about cooking, happy families, and homeschooling--all done as unto the Lord.

Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women’s diverse voices and experiences. A freedom song for the church. Sarah Bessey didn’t ask for Jesus to come in and mess up all her ideas about a woman’s place in the world and in the church. But patriarchy, she came to learn, was not God’s dream for humanity. Bessey engages critically with Scripture in this gentle and provocative love letter to the Church. Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women’s diverse voices and experiences. It’s at once a call to find freedom in the fullness, hope, glory, and work of Christ, and a very personal and moving story of how Jesus made a feminist out of her.

Kevin Giles has been writing on women in the Bible for over forty years. In this book, What the Bible Actually Teaches on Women, he gives the most comprehensive account to date of the competing conclusions to this question and the issues surrounding it. To understand the bitter and divisive debate among evangelicals over the status and ministry of women, it needs to be understood that those who since 1990 have called themselves "complementarians" argue that in creation before the fall God set the man over the woman. Thus, the leadership of the man and the subordination of the woman in the home, the church, and wherever possible in the world (the whole creation) is the God-given ideal that is pleasing to God. It is this "theology" that Kevin Giles deconstructs and shows to be without a biblical foundation. Giles shows that he is fully conversant with the complementarian position and yet is unpersuaded by it. He sees it as an appeal to the Bible to preserve male privilege, similar to the appeals to the Bible to validate slavery and Apartheid; appeals to the Bible made by some of the best Reformed and evangelical biblical scholars, and now seen to be special pleading. Carefully studying the limited number of texts on which complementarians predicate their theology of the sexes, Giles finds not one of them actually teaches what complementarians claim. Furthermore, complementarians too often ignore the texts that are very difficult for them. In this book the ordination of women gets only passing mention. The constant focus is on whether or not the Bible subordinates women to men as an abiding theological principle.

The roles played by men and women in our culture have been radically altered over the past fifty years. Those same roles are also being significantly challenged in the church, and in Christian families, by those who call themselves egalitarians. Many egalitarians seek to be faithful to the Bible, but their approach to it seems to require a fundamentally different way of looking at scripture than that of historic Christianity. Although this issue may not be at the heart of Christianity, the way we interpret the Bible is, and the manner in which we look at male and female roles profoundly affects how we look at other Biblical issues. Pastor Tom Hilpert, a former egalitarian, takes a close look at the issue of male and female roles in the Bible, sharing more than fifteen years' worth of research, study and practical experience on the subject. With careful, clear biblical interpretation, In His Image guides readers through the relevant scriptures, and the many important additional issues related to the subject. Egalitarian arguments are carefully considered and answered, and a number of practical applications are offered. If you are interested in male-female roles, or even simply Bible interpretation, you will find that In His Image provides insight that is both thought provoking and clear.

Word Guild Awards Shortlist — Academic What does it mean to be male and female? Do women and men have different intellectual, spiritual, moral, or emotional capacities? Are women especially suited for serving and men for leading? Are women and men equal? While these may seem like relatively recent questions, they have been a topic of conversation throughout Christian history. At the center of this conversation is the biblical character Eve, the archetypal woman of Genesis 1-3. Not simply one woman among many, Eve comes to represent all women, defining the very essence of what it is to be female. As Eve was a woman, so all women were Eve, the conditions of her creation and her involvement in the Fall often serving as a justification for limitations placed on women and for their subordination to men. Over the centuries, women themselves have read and interpreted the story of Eve, scrutinizing the details of the text to discern God's word for them. Often their investigations led them to insights and interpretations that differed from dominant views, shaped as they were by men. The Gospel According to Eve traces the history of women's interpretation of Genesis 1-3, readings of Scripture that affirmed women's full humanity and equal worth. Biblical scholar Amanda Benckhuysen allows the voices of women from the past to speak of Eve's story and its implications for marriage, motherhood, preaching, ministry, education, work, voting, and more.

enGendered celebrates the God-given distinctions between a man and a woman. It concludes that the more distinction is embraced, the closer a man and woman become. Thus gender, rightly understood, is a tool for intimacy. Written in a compassionate tone and winsome style, the volume speaks to Christians who want to know what the Bible says about gender differences and why. This theology of gender is also of value for people who struggle with same-sex attraction but want to follow Christ.

In Equal, Church and ministry leader Katia Adams argues that the church has too often misrepresented the heart of Jesus to release and empower women and men. With sensitivity to both sides of the argument, Adams draws on the wisdom of Scripture, theology, and the Holy Spirit. Blending them with her own personal experiences, she asserts that both women and men are equally called to serve and lead in the church and in the world—and that, by restricting the roles of women, we are missing God’s design for the church and for the gospel’s impact on the earth.
