Complementarianism

Beyond the debate between complementarians and egalitarians lies a crucial discussion among those who affirm the complementarian view. While committed to the authority of Scripture and the distinct roles of men and women, complementarians often diverge at key points of biblical interpretation and practical application. In Complementarianism: A Continuum of Perspectives on Men and Women in the Church, editor David S. Dockery leads a team of eminent, multi-denominational contributors in a gracious conversation about these internal differences. This project avoids stretching biblical and theological parameters, instead modeling an honest discussion that reinforces a strong commitment to the full truthfulness of Scripture and foundational complementarian understandings of gender roles.
