Customer Reviews

A forgotten topic, well discussed
This is a very well structured, well thought out and well collected selection of essays on a topic of great importance to todays church. Piper and Grudem, in my opinion, take a highly biblical standpoint, and the quality of their own thinking and writing as well as the other contributors in inspiring without being manipulative. You are given plenty of opportunity to form your own opinions from the evidence laid before you - something which I find truly helpful in this sort of book.
Clearly it is written from a particular standpoint, but even if you don't share this with the authors, it commands your attention and thought very well indeed.

awesoem book
The person who wrote the first review is on drugs. The second reviewer is MUCH more balanced. You might not agree with everything Piper and Grundem say but you certainly will find the info well laid out, their arguements articule and (cuase I also agree with them) in my opinion this book is authoritatively the best for this view on the subject hands down.

Important, well written book
This is an excellent in depth consideration of the biblical, social and cultural issues of gender.
Whatever one's position on gender, this is a serious and essential book addressing this hot topic.
It is a big book, but well organised and easy to dip into a section. It contains excellent extended exegesis of all the key biblical passages.
