Instead, they want to be accepted as full participants in God's work, sharing in kingdom tasks in ways that use their gifts appropriately.\nIn 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.\nEncouraging 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0310529395\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0310529395.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mathews, Alice\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
