Key Features
- Examines male and female relations in the Bible
- Discusses biblical concerns and ideologies for women
A rich and sensitive critique of the feminist program for change . . . . His case against revising the traditional language about God and his presentation of a biblical alternative to both feminism and secular patriarchy are two real contributions of this work.
—Paul Vitz, associate professor of psychology, New York University
I am enthusiastic about this book: it is sane and sensitive to women’s concerns, as well as fair and faithful in theological orientation. It deserves the widest circulation.
—Bruce M. Metzger, professor of New Testament, Princeton Theological Seminary

In this short book, Bloesch not only covers both Feminism and Patriarchalism (and various levels of these). but he also discusses marriage, celibacy, leadership, equality, the Trinity, subordination / superordination, ordination of women, and much more. As in the past, I find Bloesch easy to read - and that he not only challenges me - but he often puts into much better words ideas / approaches that I already have. I really do like the biblical / covenantal approach to the relationship between men and women that he argues for in opposition to both Patriarchal and Feminist models. An excellent read, and strongly recommended to those involved in Christian Leadership.
