Editorial Review: Product Description: Egalitarians, or evangelical feminists, consider men's and women's roles in the home and church to be interchangeable. In this helpful book, Bible scholar Wayne Grudem considers over a hundred egalitarian arguments and finds them contrary to the Bible. According to Grudem, the Bible teaches that God values men and women equally. However, their roles in home and church are complementary to each other, not interchangeable. Arguing against both feminism on the left and male chauvinism on the right, his carefully researched handbook is a valuable resource defending the complementarian viewpoint. God created us, male and female, in His image. So what does that mean? Has the modern church suffered a tragic loss of the beauty of manhood and womanhood as created by God? Has the feminist influence within today’s evangelical church led to a rejection of the effective authority of the Bible? In this reasoned, comprehensive response to more than one hundred controversial claims from evangelical feminists, biblical scholar Wayne Grudem answers these questions and examines the egalitarian perspective on every major doctrinal issue, including: What the Bible says about the roles of men and women in marriage Women in the church and in church leadership Theology and the concepts of equality, fairness, and justice Claims that a complementarian view is harmful “This is the fullest and most informative analysis available, and no one will be able to deny the cumulative strength of the case this author makes” — J. I. Packer “This is the most thorough, balanced, and biblically accurate treatment of feminism and the Bible I have seen” — Stu Weber “After the Bible, I cannot imagine a more useful book for finding reliable help in understanding God’s will for manhood and womanhood in the church and the home” — John Piper Story Behind the Book I would like to see this book as the “final answer” to the question of feminsm in the church today. There has been a lot of controversy and debate in the church on this subject and I have used the Bible exclusively to answer the question of feminism in the church. This book must not be portrayed as anti-women, or as putting women down in any way. This book will seek throughout to elevate and honor women, to regard them as equal in value to men yet with different God-given roles. This book fairly presents arguments and facts, leading people to conclude for themselves that evangelical feminism is clearly contrary to Scripture. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Flawed from the startFirst, so the big problem with this book is, like most books of this ilk, it puts the words of Paul over the words of Christ. This is a huge problem amongst those who view feminism as a dirty word. The words of Christ speak of equality and never create a position where men are viewed as superior to women. The sources of inequality come from instead early church leaders. This is the problem when one tries to view the bible as inerrant. Inerracy is a later church doctrine that wasn't even present ...

No other theologian presents such an objective view of a topic that has been hijacked by feminists. Dr. Grudem examines each egalitarian claim, and then refutes it using logic, Greek and Hebrew language skills, and biblical truths. And throughout the book, Dr. Grudem is gracious to those whom he is proving wrong. I found there to be no malice anywhere in the book; just sincerely held, biblically correct ... Read More Rating: - Comprehensive Defense of ComplementarianismThis is some book! By that I mean that Evangelical Feminism & Biblical Truth is about as comprehensive a treatment of the issue of the proper biblical roles of men and women in the home and in the church as anyone could hope to find--856 pages, 80+ pages of which are bibliography and indexes, 8 appendices totaling over 200 pages, and 536 pages of text--all painstakingly documented and referenced. Grudem argues for the complementarian viewpoint, which holds that the equal value and dignity ... Read More Rating: - referenceExcellent source for study. Like his Bible Doctorine, it can be used by looking up points of interest or study. Well written, easily understood and well referenced. Rating: - Get this book!The homework is done. The research is remarkably clear and cuts through the jargon of the self-styled "egalitarian" or "evangelical feminist." Grudem's credentials are difficult to touch. He has put a tremendous amount of time, effort and energy into debunking the statements of those who oppose the authority of God's Word and who have the mendacity to call themselves Christian.
