Hi Everyone,
I’d like to add a thought. Stan Grenz, in his book, Women in the Church, takes the apparently problematic texts of Scripture and demonstrates that biblical analysis soundly supports an egalitarian view. When this view is considered, an imbalance in the idea of the submission of women to men in the church is demonstrated. The further implication is that the egalitarian view demonstrates that it is a better model for marriage and the family. Grenz’ rationale for an egalitarian view and for writing his book is “to show that the vision of male-female mutuality is grounded in the Bible, is the logical outcome of evangelical theological commitments, and best serves the practical needs of God’s people.”
