[Apologiaphoenix]

What is the relationship between men and women in the church?

That sounds like the kind of book that is very badly needed today.

I'll add this one to my reading list.

It's been my experience that the ones quickest to swing the "You're not taking Scripture seriously" club are complementarians. They also, in my experience, seem to start with the notion that their view is unambiguously clear in Scripture, and any contrary view comes from secular feminist influences, not from Scripture itself. Very frustrating when trying to discuss the issue.

If you're planning start doing more reading in this area, I'd love to hear your take on Paul and Gender by Cindy Westfall. It's a challenging new take on egalitarianism, with endorsements from both egalitarians and complementarians.

Perhaps. I get emails from publishers and just choose what looks interesting.
