Women, Slaves, and the Gender Debate: A Complementarian Response to the Redemptive-Movement Hermeneutic
Some have argued that a Christian vision of gender complementarity will one day seem as horrifying as antebellum slavery views. In this careful scholarly work, Ben Reaoch examines this trajectory hermeneutic as it relates to both slavery and gender. The contemporary generation of Christians should pay close attention to this debate. --Russell D. Moore, Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryWell researched, well written, and well reasoned . . . significant guidance in navigating what the Bible says and does not say on these issues and how we are to understand and interpret them. This book should become a standard in this area of study. It already has a place in my library. I highly recommend it to yours. --Anthony J. Carter, Pastor, East Point Church, East Point, GeorgiaWhether complementarian or egalitarian, you need to read this book. The complementarian author interacts with egalitarians respectfully by letting them speak for themselves and responsibly by pointing out the underlying issue for all, i.e., whether God says what he means and means what he says. --Dorothy Kelley Patterson, Professor of Theology in Women's Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
