Manhood and Womanhood
Manhood and Womanhood Defined According to the Bible
by John Piper
In what ways are men and women essentially the same? In what ways are they essentially different? And how do these differences affect our roles in the home, the church, and society? Adapted from chapter 1 of Recovering Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, this booklet takes a positive, sensitive look at these important questions. (download the book)
Biblical Foundations for Manhood and Womanhood
by Wayne Grudem, editor
For years a debate has raged over how to define true masculinity and true femininity. While there is agreement that men and women share equally in the privilege of being made in God’s image, some views of manhood and womanhood blur God-given gender distinctions.
Wayne Grudem assembled a team of distinguished writers to show how egalitarian views destroy God’s ideal for your relationships, marriage, and life purposes. Issues such as the interchangeability of male-female roles, the meaning of submission, and the historical novelty of egalitarian interpretations of Scripture are explored.
This book will demonstrate how some views of manhood and womanhood tamper with our understanding of God’s character and why the extremes of male domination and feminism destroy the beauty of our sexual differences—differences that celebrate the excellence of men and women as God created us.
