Christian perspectives on manhood and womanhood

Feminisme adalah salah satu gejala di abad postmodern yang ingin menyamakan hak pria dan wanita. Bukan hanya di dunia, Kekristenan pun diracuni oleh ideologi ini, termasuk tidak sedikit theologi Injili. Bagaimana seharusnya sikap orang Kristen yang seharusnya berdasarkan Alkitab? Melalui dua buku ini, biarlah kita diajar tentang perbedaan pria dan wanita dari perspektif Alkitab yang ketat.

Description
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.
These writers explore key issues, including the interchangeability of male-female roles, the meaning of submission, and the historical novelty of egalitarian interpretations of Scripture. 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.

Praises:
“In Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, twenty-two men and women commit their talents to produce the most thorough response yet to evangelical feminism. All who are concerned with the fundamental question of the proper relationship between men and women in home, church, and society will want to read this important book.”
–Association of Theological Booksellers

“The best book in print today on this subject. A very important contribution in an age that needs to know.”
–Christian Literature World

“Piper and Grudem have achieved a commendable breadth of subject area supported by clear, specific, and precise treatment—all of which consistently make the case for ‘biblically balanced male leadership’ in home, church, and society.”
–Michael G. Maudlin (the executive director for editorial operations at Christianity Today)

“Without a doubt this is the most impressive and comprehensive statement of a conservative evangelical understanding of these issues to be published to date. No one seriously involved in seeking a responsible Christian engagement with such concerns can afford to ignore this magisterial undertaking.”
–Prof. Timothy George, Th.D. (Dean and Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School, U.S.A. Education: A.B. from University of Tennessee at Chattanooga; M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School; and Th.D. from Harvard University)

“A trumpet-call to the church at large to wake up to the issue. Yet for a book that pulls no punches, it remains reasoned and courteous. It also sets an excellent model in the principles of biblical debate.”
–Graham Keith (Banner of Truth Trust)

“This significant contribution to the ongoing debates over roles and liberties consciously seeks to be governed by Scripture rather than by contemporary culture. Headship by men is a responsibility from God, not a privilege for their own advantage. Much of the confusion of our day is laid at the feet of men who have failed in their role by being either domineering or domesticated. Here is strong medicine for healthy balance with full respect for women and men in their intended roles.”
–Rev. William H. Smallman, D.Miss. (first vice president and director of Lifelong Education at Baptist Mid-Missions)
