A few more quotes from this article:

“Finally, Grudem returns to the issue of homosexuality, arguing that the hermeneutic employed to advocate egalitarianism leads, if pressed consistently, to the normalization of homosexuality as well. “The approval of homosexuality,” he notes, “is the final step along the path to liberalism.” ”

Guys, I hear this everywhere. It is making inroads as being ‘logical’ which it is NOT. How could the ‘hermeneutic’ be employed for this? Scripture is MORE than clear about homosexuality.

I could use their hermeneutic to argue that complimentarianism leads to less respect for women and more Domestic Violence. But I know that sin leads to sin. And I don’t know which came first…the domestic violence or the comp belief!

“The great value of Wayne Grudem’s new book is its combination of cogent argument and fair presentation. Grudem is careful to acknowledge that many, if not most, evangelical feminists have not moved completely along the trajectory toward the full embrace of theological liberalism. Nevertheless, his surgical approach to their theological arguments and hermeneutical proposals reveals the clear and present danger to evangelical orthodoxy posed by egalitarian theory and practice. Evangelical Feminism is truly a tract for the times–a manifesto that should serve to awaken complacent evangelicals to the true nature of the egalitarian challenge. Furthermore, the book serves as an arsenal of arguments to use in revealing the crucial weaknesses of the egalitarian proposal. ”

Read that last sentence again. War words. Use the book as an arsenal of arguments.

“Nothing less than the future of the Christian church in North America is at stake in this controversy. Evangelicals no longer have the luxury of believing that this controversy is nothing more than a dispute among scholars. Evangelical Feminism: A New Path to Liberalism? has arrived just in time. Get this book quickly–and read it with care.”

Is this scare mongering or what?
