About this audiobook
Christianity Today Book Award Winner
Regarding gender relations, the evangelical world is divided between complementarians and egalitarians. While both perspectives have much to contribute, the discussion has reached a stalemate. Michelle Lee-Barnewall critiques both sides of the debate, challenging the standard premises and arguments and offering new insight into a perennially divisive issue in the church. She brings fresh biblical exegesis to bear on our cultural situation, presenting an alternative way to move the discussion forward based on a corporate perspective and on kingdom values. The book includes a foreword by Craig L. Blomberg and an afterword by Lynn H. Cohick.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the best book I have heard/read on the subject!!! Absolutely brilliant. I have just bought the paperback version, after listening to the audio one, because it is so full of things I have never heard emphasised, I want to be able to underline and read bits to people!!
