This is a great book that helps us to see and appreciate the difference between man and woman. God created us equal yet different. Though equal, we have been assigned different roles. Today much of the Church gives in to pressure from society when it comes to this subject. Alex brings out the importance of both the man's and the woman's role although they are different. My wife and I both have enjoyed this book very much. Give it a try. There are not many personal opinions here, only what the Bible says. God made both sexes and knows very well what He created them for. Both sexes have a misconception of what they are and of why they were created different. Thoughout the years most people had a totally wrong view of the male and female position. I'm glad the Lord has called Alex Strauch to write a book on this subject. This book is very helpful. Read it!
This book is not meant to be a detailed explanation of the complementarian position, but a quick overview suitable for persons unfamiliar with the biblical and theological issues present. Strauch hits all the major points, and provides a good summary of complementarian thought. He definitely achieves his intended purpose.This volume would be an excellent basis for a Bible study with a group of laypersons, or as an addition to a smaller church library.For a MUCH more elaborate, detailed and scholarly treatment of the complementarian viewpoint, try "Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood" by John Piper and Wayne Grudem.If it's a quick, easy-to-read overview of what the Bible says on gender relationships that you want, however, then this book is the one to buy.
This book is an excellent book to explain why the world has turned completely against "Christians." What a load of rubbish! Arrogance , entitlement, self-aggrandizement literally drip off these pages. Sad. Disgusting. Downright repugnant. Do not pay money for this book and encourage these destructive people, please. Jesus is nothing like this. For those of you who are unbelievers, please understand that this kind of stuff is just the expression of a misogynistic cult calling itself "Christianity." Jesus is the opposite of all of this. He loves, is respectful and kind. If you want to learn of Him, stay away from these communities COMPLETELY. They will ruin your lives. Jesus saves and serves and builds humans. These folks just destroy in the name of God. They are spiritual terrorists. Women, know that it would be far better to live your lives as lonely people than EVER to end up with one of these patronizing jokers who twist and contort the gospel to harm women.Mothers, do not let your daughters fall into the clutches of these evil soul-crushersHopefully, the government will take away the tax exempt status of these "churches" and "seminaries." They will then be turned into housing for homeless people. THAT would actually do good and not evil! Call your Congressmen AND CONGRESSWOMEN and demand that the government stop subsidizing the degradation of women by allowing this kind of propaganda to receive the tax-payer subsidies of the tax exempt status.
I thought this was the best book on biblical roles. Strauch used logic and particular verses of the Scripture to support the complementarian view of roles for men and women in relationships and ministry.
Although this is not "politically correct" within the liberal denomination that I serve, I think it is a must read. It is scriptural and does not denigrate women in any way. It is a good start for anyone looking at the LGBTQ "marriage" debate within the Church, or the debate surrounding the "ordination" of women.
Excellent work towards understanding the differences but also the similarities
Strauch writes a very fair and balance booklet! Just the right size for someone who doesn't want to spend hours researching the issue. His compassionate approach towards the suffering of women in general and especially in abusive relationships is much needed in this dialogue. He writes with genuine interest and not just lip-service. Some of his points I have not heard anywhere else!
Gave great insight and depth to the topic at hand. It was well written and a joy to read. I will read it again soon.
