Just BE - Matters of Justice and Biblical Equality

1. Introduction to Just BE: Gender Equality and the Church


Listen Later

Krista breaks down two competing schools of thought prominent in today's churches: Egalitarianism is the idea that men and women may serve God in the way in which he calls them without broadly restricting women from positions of leading and teaching. "Complimentarianism" is the idea that God instated specific domains for men and women and that they are both mutually edified when men occupy the central domains of teaching and leadership while women occupy a domain that stands in submission to the male leadership. This idea originates from centuries-old traditional patriarchal beliefs that have been the interpretive lens used to interpret and understand the Bible.  There is a great need to explore and understand the Christian idea that "There is neither...male and female, for you are all one in Christ," (Galatians 3:28).
