BOOKS
Men and Women in the Church: A Short, Biblical, Practical Introduction
Kevin DeYoung
There is much at stake in God making humanity male and female. Created for one another yet distinct from each other, a man and a woman are not interchangeable―they are designed to function according to a divine fittedness. But when this design is misunderstood, ignored, or abused, there are dire consequences. Men and women complement one another. And this biblical truth has enduring, cosmic significance. From start to finish, the biblical storyline―and the design of creation itself―depends upon the distinction between male and female. This book is about the divinely designed complementarity of men and women as it applies to life in general and especially ministry in the church.
