Summary:
"Is it appropriate for a man to read a theological book written by a woman? Is a husband supposed to control his wife so she won’t dominate him? Is a wife’s chief purpose to help her husband achieve his goals? Should a woman earn a college degree, work outside the home, or be in a position of
authority
in a mixed workplace? Why are we asking these questions? Theologically conservative Christians want to embrace a biblical understanding of
women
and
men
, but the beliefs of Greeks, Romans, and Victorians have had undue influence on contemporary teaching. Damaging ideas and a narrow focus have created confusion for
men
and
women
alike. Rachel Green Miller believes that the dynamics of
authority
and
submission
are part of the biblical picture—but they aren’t the whole picture. As she examines and corrects conservative teaching on gender, she draws out equally important themes in Scripture that will strengthen our relationship as co-laborers in the kingdom of God."--Barnes and Noble.
