This is not just another book on the perennial issue of male
headship. In contrast to those many who regard Christianity as the
great source of male domination, this book argues that authentic
Christianity does not teach that husbands have spiritual
superiority over their wives, and its authors listen to and engage
voices that still claim that it does.
Written by distinguished Protestant and Roman Catholic scholars,
the book first demonstrates how deep strands of the Christian
tradition have always taught an ethic of gender mutuality, sowing
the seeds for what is today called the "equal-regard marriage."
Though patriarchy was pervasive in the ancient world surrounding
early Christianity and sometimes influenced the church, new
research shows that the earliest layers of Christianity both
resisted and worked to transform it. Not every author in the book
agrees with this point of view; dissenters have their say too. As a
whole, "Does Christianity Teach Male Headship? constitutes a robust
debate that, finally, invites readers to decide.
