E-Book Overview
By critically examining the writings of egalitarians, Grudem shows that, while egalitarian leaders claim to be subject to Scripture in their thinking, what is increasingly evident in their actual scholarship and practice is an effective rejection of the authority of Scripture.
Egalitarianism is heading toward an Adam who is neither male nor female, a Jesus whose manhood is not important, and a God who is both Father and Mother, and then maybe only Mother. The common denominator in all of this is a persistent undermining of the authority of Scripture in our lives. Grudem's conclusion is that we must choose either evangelical feminism or biblical truth. We can't have it both ways!

“Wayne Grudem continues to exhibit faithfulness to the biblical revelation and courage in the light of near universal opposition, as exhibited most recently in this superb volume. Sailing under the flag of evangelical work, this new brand of feminism will take the church directly into liberalism. There is not a more important book to read on the subject than this one.” —PAIGE PATTERSON President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas “The entire Body of Christ owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Wayne Grudem for his courage in taking on what has become a Goliath within the camp of modern-day evangelicalism, and for his noncombative, gracious spirit in doing so. Those who love the truth will find here an invaluable resource in a userfriendly format that is both scholarly and accessible.” —NANCY LEIGH DEMOSS Author, radio host, Revive Our Hearts “‘Wherever the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved.’ In keeping with Luther’s observation, Wayne Grudem takes a vital stand and encourages us to join him. He tackles the issue firmly and fairly and with the clarity we have come to expect from his scholarly pen.” —ALISTAIR BEGG Senior Pasto
