Book on equality for women in the church

[BobE]

In the theology forum, I was recently asked to explain my views on women's equality. I actually had a book published on this subject in 2011.

My intention was to write a book that anyone could read over the course of a weekend. My hope was that people would have a clearer picture of God's heart towards women after reading it. I also tried to shed some light on the origins of patriarchy in the church. I hoped to demonstrate that oppressive traditions are not an accurate reflection of the life and ministry of Jesus, as recorded in the Bible.

If anyone would like to look at this book, you can find it at the following links:

Please feel free to make use of the "look inside" feature on amazon.com. Much of the content is available there for free if you are signed in.

My prayer is that God will use the book to bring encouragement and freedom to the body of Christ.
