Most women in the church don't aspire to "lord it" over men, nor do
they want to scramble for position. Instead, they want to be
accepted as full participants in God's work, sharing in kingdom
tasks in ways that use their gifts appropriately. In Gender Roles
and the People of God, author, radio host, and professor at
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Alice Mathews surveys the roles
women have played in the Bible and throughout church history,
demonstrating both the inspiring contributions of women and the
many hurdles that have been placed in their path. Along the way,
she investigates the difficult passages often used to preclude
women from certain areas of service, pointing to better and more
faithful understandings of those verses. Encouraging and hopeful,
Mathews aims for an "egalitarian complementarity" in which men and
women use all of their gifts in the church together, in
partnership, for the glory of God.
