A Bourgeois Babes Bossy Wives and Bobby Haircuts

<p><strong>Taking a stand over the gender-issue divide </strong></p><p>Author and New Testament scholar Michael Bird was formerly in favor of distinct gender roles in ministry a viewpoint commonly called complementarianism. But inconsistencies in practice and careful biblical study convinced him to rethink his position.</p><p>Originally published as a short ebook <strong> </strong><em>Bourgeois Babes Bossy Wives and Bobby Haircuts</em> offers<strong> </strong>an engaging incisive perspective on biblical gender equality and the egalitarian view--a preference for allowing women to hold teaching and leadership positions in ministry.</p><p>While Bird is now egalitarian he nevertheless strikes a respectful tone toward those in his previous camp seeking to craft a perspective that both values women and upholds biblical differences between the sexes. Humorous and hard-hitting Bird will challenge readers on both sides of the gender-issue divide.</p>
