Bourgeois Babes, Bossy Wives, and Bobby Haircuts: A Case for Gender Equality in Ministry - Michael F. Bird

Descriere Bourgeois Babes, Bossy Wives, and Bobby Haircuts: A Case for Gender Equality in Ministry - Michael F. Bird

\n \nTaking a stand over the gender-issue divide \n \nAuthor and New Testament scholar Michael Bird was formerly in favor of distinct gender roles in ministry, a viewpoint commonly called complementarianism. But inconsistencies in practice and careful biblical study convinced him to rethink his position.\n \nOriginally published as a short ebook, Bourgeois Babes, Bossy Wives, and Bobby Haircuts offers an engaging, incisive perspective on biblical gender equality and the egalitarian view--a preference for allowing women to hold teaching and leadership positions in ministry.\n \nWhile Bird is now egalitarian, he nevertheless strikes a respectful tone toward those in his previous camp, seeking to craft a perspective that both values women and upholds biblical differences between the sexes. Humorous and hard-hitting, Bird will challenge readers on both sides of the gender-issue divide.\n
